Thanks!
I don't know where they got it from but my club gave us the program, its a power lifting program anyway.
Day A
Squat 5x5
Bench 5x5
Row 3x8
Curls 3x8
Dips 3x8
Day B
Squats 5x5
Deadlifts 3x5
OHP 3x8
Close grip 3x8
Pull ups 3x8
Done on a ABA, BAB rotation. I usually skip dips and pull ups at that time though and do them at my gym another time when I can use the assisted pull up and dip machine because I'm weak AF.
I also do a bit of my own accessory stuff a couple of days a week with dumbbells to try even out my awful muscle imbalances between my left and right arm, no specific program for that just exercises people have recommended to me

Looks pretty good for now. Once you get a bit stronger though it will get very difficult with that amount of volume, so if I were you I would cut out the other accessory stuff you are doing to make sure you are 100% fresh ready to smash the big lifts.
In. A girl who lifts in the blogs is awesome. Been a while since Piggsil left.
Nice dead lift.
My gf lifts will show her this
Edit: I'll remove the bigotry in the morning

90KG Deadlift within 6 weeks of training?

Crazy for a woman that...
OP you must have been very strong to start with lol.
Strong delete from Ya Dunno
90kg deadlift isn't that strong for a newbie woman. Depends entirely on leverages and what starting strength.
Iirc Hermit has lifted on and off for a while

Been dabbling in lifting for over a year, was training for a run anyway so wasn't focussing on strength then got lazy AF over the summer. Came back to it in September with lifting being my top focus fitness-wise and can feel my form is miles better than when doing it alone, will get videos up in due course.
So no, not a total newbie, first time my focus has been on lifting and gaining strength though

Lol, guys.. these are her 1 rep max's... it's not that high.
Bro Tip: For Power-lifting, I'd say keep intensity and volume high from rep ranges around 4-8. Your training program seems quite good, [(Squats and deadlifts on the same day
is a no no for me)], but I'd prefer to keep pushing and pulling exercises separate from each other (my personal preference).
*Also make sure your form is 100% before trying to go real heavy, you don't want to end up snapping your **** :/
Keep Up The Good-work!

It's powerlifting, you squat and deadlift in the same day when you compete, makes sense to do it in training.

For someone who is six weeks into powerlifting, I don't think she'll be competing any time soon... Gotta ease yourself into it, don't want to cause injuries.

People have done their squats and deadlifts in the same session for decades, it works, it doesn't mean she is rushing into anything or she is risking an injury.
Weighed in this morning at 65.8kg.
In today's training session we practiced competition calls and setting our openers ahead of the intra club comp next Friday. Given that all the girls lifting about the same as me look a million kilos lighter than me I'm thoroughly expecting to come last, but someone has to!
Openers are going to be: 50/30/80
Very easy lifts but I'll be very nervous and want to sink my openers then see how it goes... Particularly the deadlift I'd love to hit 95.
Did negatives on the assisted pull up machine 3x8 40kg then dips 3x8 33kg after at the gym.
Now going to take it very easy in preparation. I'm thinking just some light lifting Monday, then just plenty of stretching and mobility with some cardio for the rest of the week.
