Hello all I’m new to this part of T Nation I have many posts in the powerlifting section. I’m done powerlifting and am gonna start bodybuilding/lifting to stay active and in shape. I’m trying to keep my program simple 3 days per week as I’m pressed for time 2 young children and work. What I wanted to do is ask you about keeping a powerlifting kinda aspect to my routine so my simple split would be this.

Super set with incline db fly’s 3x10 and BB Rows 3x10

Weighted Dips 3x10,3x9,3x8
Super set with lat pull down 3x10

These would be a typical bench and back day.

You could try doing a “powerbuilding” program. Something like yate’s blood and guts or doggcrapp

I would approach it a bit differently:

Mon: Squat / Legs
A. Squat: heavy (5x5 or 10x3 or 6x2 or 3x8 or …)
B1. Leg press or Hack squat (BBng style: 3x8 or 3x10 or rest-pause or drop sets or…)
B2. Leg Ext.
C1. RDL or Stiff-leg DL or Weighted Back Ext.
C2. Lying or Seated or Standing Leg curls

Wed: Bench / Chest / Shoulder / Triceps
A. Bench press: heavy (see squat set/rep schemes)
B. Seated or Standing DB/BB Shoulder press
C1. DB press or Chest press
C2. DB or Cable flys
D1. Incl. French press
D2. Cable Tri PD

Fri: Deadlift / Back / Biceps
A. Convential Deadlift: Heavy
B. BB or DB or Machine Rows
C. Lat PD or Pull-ups or Chin-ups
D1. Curl variation
D2. Reverse curl variation

If you’ve got a few years of training under your belt I would recommend Doggcrapp.

I went from 5 to 6 times a week in the gym to 3 times and still progressing nicely.
