Powerlifting Programs

LotusAsh

I've been doing the whole bodybuilding routines for some time now. I recently started focusing on the Big 3 movements. I want to get stronger and increase my max's in all of those lifts. Can anyone recommend a good powerlifting program? I've tried the 531 by jim wendler and I wasn't a fan of it

It sort of depends on where you're at with your lifts. If you aren't yet hitting intermediate numbers on all your lifts, you should look into a beginning program because you're going to see the fastest progress that way - starting strength, SL5x5, Blaha's program, Candito's program, etc. If you are starting to hit intermediate or greater numbers, then it's probably time to aim for a program like Texas, Madcow, etc.

Sheiko
Smolov
GreySkull
Juggernaut

I'm only personally familiar with Sheiko- it's a LOT of squat/bench/dead- I've run 4 cycles of it-(so I've spent months with it at this point) and I'm off it in 2 weeks.

It took me one full rotation to really get into it and now really like it- but it's not getting me what I want in terms of results- so I'll be switching to a new program.

I know people who have run the other three and are very happy with them- people at my gym run Juggernaut regularly and are always trying to push it on me. LOL pushers.

Anyway- good luck with whatever new program you go with

The Texas Method and Advanced Texas Method have a neat model that incorporates big three along with Oly style stuff. They're mainly Rippetoe's programming.

I've also heard good things about Greyskull LP

You may want to also check out Glenn Pendlay's approach to programming. That dude knows his stuff.
