    Sustainability of my program

    Hey, everyone!

    I wrote my own program for funsies. I've been training using 531 templates for a few years and my current stats are 140 lb bw 5'4" 32 yo with 360 dead, 285-300* squat, 65 weighted pull-up, 232.5 bench, 172.5 OHP, and 90 curl 1RMs.

    My squat was last tested 2+ months ago since I have a small hip adductor injury that's prevented me from training it. So, once that's recovered and I retrain my CNS for squats, I expect it to be around 300 if it's grown proportionally to my deads.

    Anyway, I've written the program below and am wondering what your thoughts are about its sustainability. I know it's not a forever program since it includes an average of bi-weekly linear progression.

    Programmed lifts: dead, bench, OHP, weighted pull-up, curl.

    Meso=micro structure: ABABAB with A - bench, OHP, adductor rehab; B - dead, pull-ups, curls.

    Periodization: DUP MLH with Day 1 - 3x6 @ 78% old 1RM, Day 2 - 3x12 @ 69% old 1RM, Day 3 - 3x3 @ 84% + 1x1 @ 89% old 1RM (these are all estimated 4 RIR percentages... That is, 78% should be a 10RM, so 1x6 should be 4 RIR...)

    Meso progression: add 10 to dead, 7.5 to bench, 5 to pull-up and OHP, 2.5 to curl 1RM (all 2.5% increases, risky/aggressive?)

    Block structure: 3x mesos, 1x deload, 1x regression on all lifts (So, for deadlift, I'd go +10, +10, +10, test, -10, start over...)

    Deload structure: Day 1 - normal Day 1 with half reps, Day 2 - normal Day 2 with half reps + singles @ 90% 95% and 100% new 1 RM, Day 3 - normal Day 3 with half reps
