Workout Description
The 100% powerlifting workout. This workout is specifically designed for guy competing in powerlifting competitions. This doesn't mean you can't use it, this workout is great for increasing your strength.
This workout is not for muscle mass, it's purely for strength gains. You may experience muscle gains, but you will benefit much more from a bodybuilding workout. You must train with a spotter for this workout because you're training heavy with weights close to your 1 REP MAX on almost every set.
