This is the "5/3/1 First Set Last - Multiple Sets" program from Jim Wendler's "Beyond 5/3/1" book. The general idea is to take the first set of 5/3/1 and use the same percentage for 3-5 sets of 5-8 reps after your 5/3/1 sets. So Week One is 5/3/1 + 3-5 sets at 65%, Week Two is 5/3/1 + 3-5 sets at 70%, Week Three is 5/3/1 + 3-5 sets at 75%.
Included in this routine are simply the base 5/3/1 FSL sets. Starting Training Max is 85%.
For accessories, do 50-100 reps of each of the following: push, pull, and single-leg or core. You should do each of these accessories (push, pull, and single-leg/core) every workout. Do 1-2 exercises for each accessory category (so, for example, you could do just dips or dips and triceps pushdowns as your "push" accessories for 50-100 reps during a workout). You can do the same accessories or different ones every workout, just keep a record of them so you know what your PRs are.
Deload not included. You should adjust your training max after every 3-week cycle, and then deload after 1 or 2 such 3-week cycles.
Starting TM is 85% of 1RM.
