Will be starting next cycle soon and would appreciate advice on the following proposal
Training will be 6 days a week (Mon - Sat) DUP style, with 15 reps on days 1 and 2, 10s on 3 and 4 and 5s on 5 and 6 over 6 weeks with progression based on projected 1 rep maxes - so 15s will be at 55, 57.5, 60, 62.5, 65 and finally 67.5%, 10s will be 65, 67.5, 70, 72.5, 75 and finally 77.5% and 5s will be 75, 77.5, 80, 82.5, 85 and finally 87.5% of 1rm.
All sets will be performed as clusters (RPE 8 or 9) with total reps per muscle group gradually decreasing as the loads progress (current aim is for 15s starting at 45 reps tapering to 33, 10s from 35 to 23 and 5s from 25 to 13 with the exception of direct arm work which will be 2 sets max (60-70% of volume of compound exercises) at RPE 8 or 9.
Exercises will be the same throughout the cycle and currently proposing to do the following -
Day 1, 3 and 5 - flat bench / calf raise / overhead press / skullcrushers
Day 2, 4 and 6 - rear squat / t bar rows (deadlifts on 5s) / bicep curls
Should I do back / deadlifts on the same day as rear squats as above so any PC work is only done every other day or should I
1) move t bar / deads (and biceps) to days 1, 3 and 5 and move overhead press (and triceps) to days 2, 4 and 6 so the PC work is spread over the week?
2) instead of dropping t bar for deadlifts should I keep t bar and drop squats to do deads during the 5s
edit - should I move the blocks around for instance move the 5s to the beginning of the week then 15s then 10s?
