Ok I've looked at some sample powerlifting routines, and coming from a backround of bodybuilding and max-ot style routines, I don't really feel comfortable doing all those sets, is it possible to become very strong without doing 5 working sets?
Hmm, most powerlifters only max out ONCE a week, for one set but then they do assistance exercises.
Go look into some westside stuff, it's completely different from what you've been doing.

IS this OK to do or is it way to much? If so could someone tell em where to get a good routine where they incorporate all the muscles liek this one and not just the 3 main lifts . The websites I went to said only do one assitance excersize but this way I can get every muscle. Thanks for all your help.
