Base Powerlifting Workout Program
It’s a base power lifting workout routine. After a few months, adjust the assistance work to target whatever helps. For example, switch out paused squats for good mornings. Nothing fancy, just try to add weight each week when hit the desired rep range. The majority of people can use something like this their entire lifting careers and really never need anything else.
