Thanks Jol. I have become very intrigued and interested in the PL platform. Slowly converting. I am gonna be running 5/3/1 for a little but will be considering this afterwards.
Because we don't compete in gear. The lower percentage used by geared guys takes into account their PR is suited.
In deads I don't think that matters as much because the suit maybe adds less than 50lbs.
You think 8x3 is a lot? Try 15 doubles.

Yea that is 6 more reps. But I do push my percentages like Ecksrated said. Right up to 90% because I hate light training it's my weak point because we all know you need to knock the weight down at times. I did SSB squats 8x3 at damn close do 90% then attempted to do the same with deads and it didn't happen even trying to pull %75 was a no go. And deadlift is my best lift. Just trying to structure this program the right way for what works for me.
Let Jol help u out when he has time.
My working sets on heavy days are usually 3-5 sets of triples. Then maybe some heavier singles. Westside is new to me also but I think you're doing way too much.
I knocked my heavy days down to 3x3 increasing weight then 3x1 increasing weight.
Check out the prilepin chart thread to get an idea of how you get volume. That chart is the fundamental basis for that 8x3 template. It may not be 8x3, it varies quite a bit. For example:
1x3@65
1x3@75
3x3@85
1x2@90
1x1@95
1xTM+
If youll notice, we worked through all of the prilepin training zones at the low end of their ranges. We did 8 sets, but very rarely should you grind out 8-10 sets of 85%+. Westside lifters know the template, but that's where the Bulgarian training comes in because as a lift gets heavy by percentage, the reps drop to singles--maybe doubles.
