High Frequecy Training Template by Duane Hansen

I stole this from a thread at the Power & Bulk forum.

Here is a concept:

Monday, Wednesday, Friday - Press, Squat, Bench, Deadlift, 10-20 sets of singles, work up to a really heavy single in each lift.

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday - Press, Squat, Bench, Deadlift, 10 sets of 2-3 reps in each lift. (Use 10-20% less weight than your best single from the day before).

The bodybuilding work follows the heavy work every day -

Chins, 5 sets x 5 reps with half of your best weight in the squat (remember to add in your own bodyweight here)
Dumbbell Press, 5 sets x 5 reps with half of your top weight in the press
Barbell Curls, 5 sets x 5 reps with half of your top weight in the bench press

After a month or so of doing 5 sets x 5 reps in the bodybuilding work, start doing 6 sets x 6 reps with the same weight.

As you can see the frequency is through the roof, so you will have use a laid back approach to your training with this setup. No yelling and slapping your face before sets:-)

I would use the weight reccomendations for the assistance/bodybuilding work as a suggestion only. I know that I would not be able to curl 50 % of my bench max for 5x5.
