vegetarian with a big deadlift - who would have thought... Member 340, 13300 posts SQ 315, BP 190, DL 350 855.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 02.03.2015 @ 13:43 PM by Ben_F I used it in preparation for my last comp' on (which was a strongman/powerlifting hybrid comp) on the bench, squat and log press and hit PB's on all of them. I used my training/everyday max for the calculations, ensured good form and aimed for decent bar speed. I aimed the optimum number of reps and just decided on the percentage to use based on how I was feeling, then as the comp' got closer used the higher percentages to get a feel of the heavier weights. I'm not into assistance exercises much, I just do stuff like band pulls to balance out the pressing and band press-downs and some speed work/jumps, but that is partly because I am old and struggle to recover. If I was just doing powerlifting I would definitely use be using it.

Hasn't always been a bench press specialist Member 44, 1907 posts SQ 252.5, BP 220, DL 210 682.5 kgs @ 83kgs Eq	rawlifter said:Anyone have any opinion on this subject when it comes to putting together powerlifting plans? Usefull or no? How do you use it? You use it to determine how many reps and sets you should do with a particular weight. For example if you are using 80% you would want to do say 3 reps per set to a total of 10-20 reps. Prilepins chart gives recommendations for volume with a particular weight, but not how much volume in a given workout, week or month. A programme like Sheiko expands on this to give volume recommendations and a methodology of organising a training routine.

TL:dr Member 5489, 131 posts SQ 320, BP 200, DL 310 830.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq	Good guideline- it tells you to the sorts of volume with the intensity but understand you have not so good days I've trained quite strict in the past with this with modest results but it's a good guide for beginner and intermediate lifters that haven't got that awareness about their body.
