Have done some SS, SL, GSLP. And Chaos and Pain.
From all of this I have learned a few things:
I really respond well to heavy triples/doubles. Training every day makes me feel better. (Every other day, even with less work, and I'm exhausted. I know that sounds backwards.) I hate doing linear progression. I want to vary the rep range to at least get some hypertrophy.

The program is heavily based on Destroy the Opposition.
It's a 2 week cycle, which I'll run twice, then test new 1rm.

Heavy = As many sets of 3 at 85% 1rm as possible.
Medium = As many sets of 6 at 75% 1rm as possible.
Light = 50% 1rm 3x8

Push/Pull/Upper/Lower These are accessories. I'll do whatever, just light. 3x8.
Every day I do 15-30 minutes mobility work.

I have a gym in my garage, and I try to keep the workouts 30-90 minutes. When I'm doing 10x3 @ 85-90% 1rm, it can sometimes take ages. Some exercises are split between days since I have a lower back injury and can't handle doing both in one.

Does it seem balanced? Looks like enough recovery between groups. Day before rest day is kept light to give a little better recovery.

Currently I'm in a small calorie deficit, and eating around 200-240g of protein daily.
