After a two year on and off hiatus from lower-body training due to various injuries caused by overtraining, I can finally front squat and deadlift comfortably enough. Back squats are still out of the question for now. The following is a loosely DUP-style program I intend to run for at least a couple of months.
I think part of what caused me to get injured was a weak posterior chain relative to my quads, which caused me to compensate by loading my hip flexors. With that in mind, I'm focusing a little more on developing my posterior chain. I'm also decreasing my bench press volume as I've been in a several month long plateau, so I'm planning to focus more on overhead pressing in the meantime.
Monday [Power]
Front Squat -- 5x5 (linear progression)
Bench Press -- 6x4 --> 5x5 --> 4x6 --> add weight, 6x4 --> ...
Pull Ups
Cable Rows
Chest/Tri Accessories
Wednesday [Hypertrophy]
Overhead Press -- 4x6 --> 3x8 --> add weight, 4x6 --> ...
Bent Over Rows 4x8
Reverse Hypers
Hamstring Curls
Shoulder Accessories
Friday [Strength]
Deadlift 5x3 (linear progression)
Front Squat 3x5 (same weight as Monday)
Feet Up Bench Press (work up to 3 heavy doubles)
Weighted Dips
Dumbbell Rows
