post novice plan

so I’ve had enough with the Novice LP and im going into hypertrophy training. I like the Bridge 1.0 but there are too many new variables to get used to all at once. So I basically beefed up my novice LP as follows:

clean
squat
press
deadlift

​​​​​​all movements 5x5 @ 7-8.5 RPE (75% 1RM)…*RPE increases as sets go on

I realize it’s not very novel but it’s easy enough for me to follow for now, @ 2-3 times a week.

Does this plan seem somewhat reasonable?

​​​​

Not really.

You may want to look into the GPP hypertrophy template, and listen to the programming podcasts again.

Isn’t that essentially Stronglifts, minus the A-B weeks, which is also a novice LP?

no idea. I just tried to increase volume @ the right RPE with the basic lifts. I’ve listened to all of the podcasts and this is sort of a short term trial plan to try out for three weeks till I go on vacation. I know it’s not the best, just wondering if it looks totally ridiculous
