Jim Wendlers 5/3/1 - that's all you need to know.
This time next year you better check in with 20 pound+ of muscle.
Is this kind of like a starting strength plan? I'm still using the same 2/3/4/5 and it's getting stale to me. OHP/bench/squat/deadlift. Numbers are plate counts.
I never did Starting Strength, before 5/3/1 I used to do Stronglifts 5x5 (It was meh, wouldn't recommend).
5/3/1 are rep counts.
OHP/bench/squat/deadlift
That's basically 5/3/1, but it has a great app and the main lift doesn't take away much time from your workout, so it leaves more space for extra work, or if you are not feeling up to a long workout, just do 15 min of main lift and you are done.
I'd say this article explains it well: https://physiqz.com/workout-routines/powerlifting-programs/wendler-531-workout/
I'm doing a 4 day Boring But Big split with some custom accessory exercises.
If you want to know more ask away.
