Madcow Intermediate 5x5
Monday ? Heavy Day
Squat ? 5 sets of 5
Bench ? 5 sets of 5
Barbell Row or Powerclean ? 5 sets of 5
Weighted hyperextensions - 2 sets
Weighted sit-ups - 4 sets
On Monday, the weight for each lift is increased on each set of 5, from a light warm-up to an all out set of 5. For squats, something like 135x5, 185x5, 225x5, 275x5, 315x5. The weight should be increased evenly from your first to last set. Your fifth set equals the triple from the previous Friday's workout.
Wednesday ? Light Day
Squat ? 4 sets of 5
Incline Bench or Overhead Press ? 4 sets of 5
Deadlift ? 4 sets of 5
Sit-ups - 3 sets
On light day, Squat the first 3 sets of 5 just as you did on Monday, and then do a fourth set of 5 with the weight used on the third set. An extra fifth set at this same weight can be added. Incline bench/Overhead Press and deadlifts are ramped up to a top set of five.
Friday - Medium
Squat ? 4 sets of 5, 1 triple, 1 set of 8
Bench ? 4 sets of 5, 1 triple, 1 set of 8
Barbell Row or Powerclean? 4 sets of 5, 1 triple, 1 set of 8 for rows
Weighted Dips - 3 sets of 5-8
Triceps Extension and Biceps Curl - 3 sets of 8 each
On Friday, the first four sets are the same as they were on Monday. The fifth set, done for three reps, should be a jump of about 2.5% over what you did for your fifth set on Monday. As you become more experienced with the system, you can experiment with the weight you use on this triple. This should NOT be a PR triple attempt every week. In fact, the goal is to come back the following Monday and get the same weight for 5 reps that you got for 3 reps the Friday before. To avoid missing reps, pick weights carefully. Take it easy the first few weeks, and don?t over do it. In fact if you've tested/already know your 5 rep maxes you shouldn't be using that weight until the 4th week. After the big triple, drop back to the weight you used for your 3rd set and try to get eight reps.

You can choose either of the optional back exercises and stick with them or set them up as follows and alternate:
Week A: Deadlifts, Good Mornings, Shrugs
Week B: Bent-Over Rows, Stiff-Leg Deadlifts, Clean High Pulls
After two or three weeks, you can add in back-off sets on all of the pressing exercises, squats, and lunges. No back-offs for any back movement. Should you want to work more on any back exercise, do another top-end set. If you get 5 reps on your top set, add weight next week.
Bill Starr's "Big 3" Program
Monday ? Heavy Day
Powerclean ? 5 sets of 5
Bench ? 5 sets of 5
Squat ? 5 sets of 5
The heavy day sets the pace for the week. The rest of the week is based on the accomplishments of the heavy day. Increase the power clean and bench by 5 pounds each week, and the squat by 10. Do not increase the poundages unless you have successfully completed the prescribed number of reps the previous week. Workout weights are increased (pyramided) set to set by 10 to 20 pounds per set. Example: power clean 5 x 135, 5 x 155, 5 x 165, 5 x 175, 5 x 185.
Wednesday ? Light Day
Powerclean ? 5 sets of 5
Benchpress ? 5 sets of 5
Squat ? 5 sets of 5
Use the weight of the third set of the heavy day as the top end for the light day.
Friday - Medium
Powerclean ? 5 sets of 5
Benchpress ? 5 sets of 5
Squat ? 5 sets of 5
Use the weight of the fourth set of the heavy day as the top end for the medium day.
