big lifts first. squats and deadlifts before anything else. Also, dont day 2, dont do squats, do deadlifts instead. doing both on the same day is very taxing.

is this a mainly decent routine for strenght? cause I am sort of focusing on strength rather than hypertrophy right now.

 

[Karky]

how long have you been training propperly, doing squats and deadlifts etc?
If you want strenght you usually go a bit lower on the reps. 5x5 is good, if you want only strenght maybe 3x5 could be better and 3x8 is a bit high for strenght, but it depends how long you have been training.

when you give the percents, is that percent of your 1 rep max?

If so, how do you do 3x8 with 90% of your 1rm on bench?

Isn't 3 X 8 umm 8 sets of 3 reps? It might not be my 90 but I usually grind it out. I been training properly for a month now just only using 5 X 5. I put on around 55 pound on benchpress and around 30 pound on the squats. I think I just put that much weight on cause I gradually learned the correct form but umm yeah. Exactly a month.

3x8 means three sets of 8 reps, you've been doing it backward.
