I’ve been doing the Reg Park 5x5 two workout splits. Workout A: Squats, Pullups or chinups, and bench press or dips , Workout B Front squats, ohp, BB rows and deadlifts. Took away the calf and forearm originaly in the program and put in other assistance exercises.
My lift are BP 80kg +, Squat 100kg and 130kg deadlift. My question is if you guys can help me with the procentages.
I plan to do the workout for advanced trainees with good recovery time. If you want to help and need any additional information Just write. : )

Both of those articles are originally from this site, actually. Not sure why that dude decided to post them without giving proper credit.
Are you advanced?
Mike Mahler and Reg Park both laid out some good routines, but choosing one that’s not appropriate for your current experience level. Pick a basic routine, eat plenty, and enjoy the results.

If i do them all heavy, it will impact me negative, Or can I ?[/quote]
Reg Park’s original plan didn’t go by percentages. You simply use a weight you can manage for 5 reps without hitting muscular failure. (So it would technically be like a 6-8RM, but the exact % doesn’t matter).
As Park explained in the first article, the one taken right form his book, for 5x5 the first set is an easy warm-up, the second set is a bit heavier but still pretty easy, the last three sets are with the same weight and you shouldn’t be reaching muscular failure.
I feel like I don’t progress workout to workout anymore, and was looking for a different strength program, I squat 100kg, but the Madcow 5x5 is recommended to those who squat 300lbs. I have used 5
Reg Park 5x5 since about after the summer 2013, I have practiced form on this program , gained strength and size. I’ve hit an dead end and don’t know what to do next.
