Routine(s)

Rickey,

I recently purchased your XTREME SQUATTING and it seems to be designed for people who have been in the sport for some time. I’ve been weight training off and on since high school (more off than on sometimes) and I would primarily work with 3 or 4 sets of 10 reps. So it’s taking a while to get used to the lower reps, which all powerlifting routines seem to revolve around. I’m sure my body will adjust though.

I’m going to start following your “Pure Power” workout from your book, but the weights you use are considerably heavier than I’m able to do at my current stage of development. I was wondering if your workout would still work the same if I adjust the numbers according to percentage.

For example, week 16 of the book is:
145x10
145x5
235x3
235x1
295x1
350x5
350x5
350x5 (3 sec pause)
350x5 (3 sec pause)

Currently I can do roughly 50% for the last 4 sets, so I adjusted everything by 50%:
95x10
95x5
150x3
150x1
190x1
225x5
225x5
225x5 (3 sec pause)
225x5 (3 sec pause)

Do you think the routine would still be effective if adjusting by percentage or should I use some other method of changing the numbers? I was also wondering if the same workout would work for bench and dead lift if I change the weights accordingly again.

Thanks,

Ryan
