Hi All, I have decided that I am going to do the 3 Lifts for 3 months and see how it goes.

Hepefully test the 1 RM in 3 at the end and see where we are at, if thats how its done.

If anyone could point me in the direction of a good prorgamme :)

Have seen a bit about the Westside method (conjugate).

I was planning something like this.

Sunday Speed Deadlift and assistance work ie: rack pulls, Defecit etc.
Monday Heavy SQUATS 90% 1RM for Doubles x 10 and some heavy LEG PRESS
TUESDAY Speed Bench and assistance work ie: Triceps, DIPS
WEDNESDAY HAVEY DEADS 90% 1RM for Doubles x 10 and heavy something else related
THURSDAY LITE Squats and assistance work
FRIDAY HEAVY BENCH and assistance work ie: Heavy DECLINE etc, DIPS

Saturday Off

Repeat but in reverse
SUNDAy HEavy Deads
Monday Lite Squats
TUESDAY Heavy Bench
THURSDAY Lite DEADS
FRIDAY HEAVYLite Bench

Saturday off

etc, etc

and throw in some show sets ie: Biceps, Traps, Triceps, Calves etc, etc each day

What do you think?

any help appreciated

Cheers.
 
Looks great! Alternatively, have you tried looking into 5/3/1 with the addition of joker sets and first set last (pyramid down) to get your desired volume in? Accessories can also be programmed into to target your weakpoints.
 
From watching your deadlift videos, you could also do with some lat work in there, emphasising the extension of the thoracic spine to initiate the movement
Looks good though man, pretty brutal

Average week

But that's the minimum I would do.

If you have seen my training log, that's not an inflated workout, I have a go.

OK
Keep the "speed work" as sets of 2 reps at 80% of your 1RM. You're female and nowhere near your genetic strength potential yet so you'll be able to move this weight fast as you'll be quite powerful up to a high percentage of 1RM

For the max work, the template is OK, doesn't have to be "westside" but tbh I quite like the upper/lower set up and you can make it work for sure. Stick to the basics, just doing the regular lifts is enough for you now. From your videos you'll benefit from doing more rep work, imo. So ramp up in smallish jumps and decrease the reps as you do so. Then pyramid back down and rep some weights out. 5 down sets like this after the max work in the 4-15 rep zone is probably about right.

For assistance, just get a pump. If you're doing upper back work go heavy first on the exercise then go lighter with reps as you're not going heavy really to begin with and need the stimulation. So pretty simple really. It might look like this: Close Grip Bench 20kg x 10, 30 x 8, 40 x 8, 50 x 6, 60 x 4, 70 x 4, 80 x 3, 90 x 2, 100 x 1 x 2, 80x4, 70x6, 60x10, 50x20 just going by the numbers you listed
 
So basically I train the 3 lifts x 2 times per week


1 time at Doubles for say 10 sets and the other time for volume starting at 20% for 20 reps and Increaing the % until I reach 100% for 1 rep then drop back down?
 
Yeah sounds good
I'd ramp up to the top set with low reps though... 5's then 3's then 1's... keep them easy until you max. Then rep out the drop sets with higher reps
I can explain why if it's not obvious
