soo heres some backround on myself, im 17 and been lifting seriously for 6 months. my lifts are lower then they should be because ive been flip flopping around on routines because i just got bored of doing the same exercises after a while. WSB seems like a perfect routine for me because every 3-4 weeks you change the exercises. this is a purely power lifting routine and strength is my main goal for lifting. now lets get to the basics.
max bench=160
max squat=275(parallel)
max deadlift=225(useless as of now because i didnt cycle them in yet)
now the routine:
