A true powerlifting program, MEBB-style program, Wendler 5-3-1 and the like all have their place, but selecting the program that's right for you may take some introspection (and the help of a good coach).

The programming's entirely bent in this direction, although there are a few longer MetCons in there too (people would whine, you know). Every day we're lifting something heavy before attacking a short, power-based workout, and I've PR'd like a maniac because of it. Thank you for all you contribute to this community! I'm tuned in.

I think you just summed up 90% of what I believe about programming. One of my good buddies is using ur 603 program and has put a lot of strength on recently it's been great for him. Great article.
