Beginner powerlifting – StrongLifts Weight Lifting Log Review

This is a decent beginners powerlifting routine. I usually replace the secondary chest and back exercises with ones that are translate better to the actual lift they are supplementing. For example instead of using the barbell row I’ll do deficit deadlifts one workout and rack pulls on another. Instead of overhead press I do dumbbell incline press and bench decline. And instead of just increasing 5lbs each workout I’ll go ahead and do a perceived effort approach. I’ll increase weight until I feel that I have one left in the tank and continue my sets at 90% of that weight. One day I could be feeling good and make it up to 250 bench and the rest of my sets would be 225 another day 225 could be difficult and I’ll be working at 205 (always make sure you can do one more rep)
