In Response To: Starting powerlifting (Sven)

Might be ok for a while. But your body will take a pounding from doing heavy weights so close to each other. this is my training split.

day1 heavy deadlift movement w/a speed squat movement
day2 heavy bench, triceps
day3 off
day4 heavy squat w/a speed deadlift movement
day5 speed bench and GPP (General Physical Preperadness) like sled pulls or medicine ball work
day6and7 off

The two days in a row off every week help keep me from overtraining. I also listen to my body, if I notice the signs of overtraining I will space my workouts farther apart for a while until the symptoms go away.
