IMO working in the 3-5 rep range is exactly what you want to be doing for your goals. Hitting those lifts 3 times a week means you'll still need to deload regularly, although not as frequently as when you were hitting them 5x/week.
What were your lifts at the start of the program cookie put you on, what are your lifts now, and how long have you been doing the program for? |
my log is on here if any one is interested (you have to sign up though)

I am not sure what my 1 Or 3 RM was befor ehand, i guessed it and started very low as i had not been lifting for a while. I started on weights very much lower than what i could lift to get my body - tendons, ligaments etc OSC did say start ....25% lower than what you can do but i didnt do that i just guessed (wish i had of taken the time now)
Currently doing 56Kg OHP i guess when i started i would have got....less than 50kg 3x3 dead lift is currently at just under 118kg but i have recently done over 130kgx1 bench im up to 80kg i robably coul dhave done 72kg when i started the programme maybe 73/74...i actually failed once at 74kg:boohoo: but my g/f was there and i blame her for that lol saqut is at 70kg to 76kg as i have to get it onto shsoulders.
Started June 26 06 but had a few breaks already due to a holiday, ilness.....catching up with friends (was working abroad for 11months) so i am fairly pleased. I think i may start to struggle with bench now due to not having a spotting partner.
My goals are...OHP 100kg, Squat 150Kg,Bench press 150kg, deadl ift 200kg
OHP was 90kg target but i rounded it up, once over 70kg ill be well happy.
Squat i think once i get other lifts up and concentrate 150kg should not be too much of a problem
Bench Press i may start to struggle due to lack of safet equipment or spotter
Dead lift i think will be the easiest target for me to hit. might start using a belt after 150kg what do you think?
