Must admit I like the second option the john Powell one.

The Powell way of doing it was similar to something I I was talking to Tom about on Monday.

I've got into the habit of doing sets across again. Was looking at maybe 5,3,2 or 3x3 as dan john rule of ten. But that also looked good.

I can't believe he left off the Reg Park variation! this one calls for 60% x5 80%x5 100%x5 , 5 , 5 (the percentage of the first two sets being based on the planned weight for the last 3). If you got 5 on all the sets you added weight, if you didn't get at least 12 reps total on the top 3 sets the weight was too heavy. It's a good system, basically the same one recommended in John McCallum's Keys to progress.

Similar to starting strength aswell which is the ones I've used in the past
