I am currently running powerlifting 2 but I decided not to do the prescribed singles in order to save time and because I’m looking for more general strength and not to get better and singles. Now that I am in the second part of the template (weeks 7-13) the program has a bias towards prepping for a meet given more sets of singles than the earlier portion of the template. What should I do here? Should I just run the program without the singles or complete the prescribed exercises but use the number of sets and intensities from the earlier part of the template with the corresponding exercises?
stats:
23 years old
squat: 380 lbs
Bench: 275 lbs
deadlift: 420 lbs
You could run the program without singles, but I would move forward in the training progression as laid out in the program yes
