ur8 lads, im trying to put some decent numbers on my overhead press
squat and deadlift. Ive started doing a 10,10,5 routine for these lifts
with the 10s been quite easy almost a warmup and then going all out for the 5
reps. Were'nt gona change the weight with the 10s but wanted to put about 5 kilo
on the 5 every week....does this sound like a gud idea? Im pretty new to all this
lol!

How's about tried and tested routines:

Bulgarian Powerlifting routine

Aim is to achieve more poundage on squat, bench and deadlift (or one of the lifts but the routine works for all core lifts including overhead and front squats)

You need to work out your one-rep max plus an extra 20% (i.e. 100kg for a one rep max equals 120kg at 120%)

Routine (based on a 12 week competition cycle):

1st 4 weeks at 5 x 5 reps

Week one at: 60% of one rep max
Week two at: 65%
Week three at: 70%
Week four at: 75%

One weeks rest (week five) from routine (i.e. light training)

Next 4 weeks at varying reps (see routine):

Week six at 5 x 5 reps: 80%
Week seven at 5 x 5 reps: 85%
Week eight at 3 x 3 reps: 90%
Week nine at 2 x 2 reps: 95%

Week ten – rest from routine (light training)

Week eleven – Competition

Week 12: REST & then on with next routine same as above but with a higher one rep max (hopefully)

Other routine (ideally for bench but suited to other pressing movements):

Week one: 6 x 6 at medium working weight
Week two: 6 x 6 at week ones working weight plus 2.5kg a side
Week three: 6 x 6 at week two’s working weight plus 2.5kg a side
Week four: 6 x 6 at week three’s working weight plus 2.5kg a side
Week five: 5 x 3 at week four’s working weight plus 2.5kg a side
Week six: 5 x 2 at week five’s working weight plus 2.5kg a side
Week seven: 5 x 1 at week six’s working weight plus 2.5kg a side

On that bulgarian routine is it full body each session or do you squat bench dead on its own day

It's based around the core lifts really but I've used it for overhead stuff and it works very well...

dont overcomlplicate things IMO

5s, 3s and 2s on the compound movements, and strength should increase

If your new to strength training just do a slow progressive plan .. 1s 3s 5s multiple sets at first as weigh will be lighter and more you do it the better your natural form will come on .

Yeah, I'd go with the two guys above. If you're new to lifting I would avoid anything too prescriptive, it's just not necessary at that stage and might even slow you down.
