I know this is the beginners section, but there’s more than one way to skin a cat if your goal is to increase your 1rm on a power lift.

Several fellas in the 035 section frequently run modified bulgarian cycles and work up to a 1rm PR for the cycle on big lifts 5 to 6 days a week. DBealser runs modified bulgarian for bench mostly while, for example, concurrently running something like the Coan/Pillipe deadlift program. gorrillavannilla goes though stints squatting and benching to a daily max 5 or 6 days a week. Both of them are strong as shit.

If you can get through the dark days and avoid injury you can get strong running cycles hitting big singles on big lifts on a daily or near daily basis.

There’s also some pretty good info in this thread.

I’m not necessarily advocating modified bulgarian for the OP but I don’t see the harm in working some big singles into a routine if hitting big singles is his goal.

I thought the point of working up to the singles in a bulgarian program was for training rather than testing though. Am I mistaken?
