Old East German 3x3 routine

[slobberknocker]

I'm trying this routine in preparation for a meet 2 months from now:

There's NO assistance work. You workout 3x per wk, and each workout you do squats, benches, and deadlifts. The first 4 wks involves high volume in the 60% range. The last 4 wks has less volume in the 80-95% range.

Looks kinda brutal. Hehe.

In case anyone was wondering...

I just finished my first workout. It's tough, but it's really fun too. I feel good afterward, knowing that I worked hard. I have to do it again Wednesday, so we'll see if I can recover enough by then.

had more sucess with this type of training. (because of assistance work)

but still 3x3 is pretty cool. but i wouldnt try and use it all year arouund...you dont get to address weak areas, and that can turn into a major problem.

What i used to do was use a program like this to help build raw strength then move onto a conjugate type of training (like westside) to help with speed.

good luck

oh my god. If anyone says that damn 3 word phrase im gonna go crazy.

Old school doesnt mean shit.

anyone using the term derived from this board doesnt know much about history.

This is old school.....way before this board and its members stole its meaning.....infact this isnt really old school.

where is the hand thigh lifts and one arm presses.....where are the barrels and stones?

go to ironmind.com buy a few books....


you will learn its not a damn stupid catch phrase for a rehashed program.
i need to lie down.

this isnt a flame


slobberknocker how is it progressing?

When i was growing up....i wanted to be like danzig. I even have sideburns like his.....haha now thats lame

How did this go Slobber?

Korte's 3x3 is a pretty effective routine for me.

I substituted OHP, PC, and OLY Squat for Bench, Deadlift, and PL Squat, respectively.
