An interesting article from the British Powerlifting Congress; Powerlifters take on getting big.

Note in particular his recommendation of straight sets with a fixed weight rather than ascending sets.

    Thanks for this — Great article. I’ve started doing 5X5 straight sets instead of the 2 w/u sets then 3 work sets and have noticed an increase in both size and strength. Extra helpings at every meal plus a big protein shake after each workout doesn’t hurt either.
