Powerlifting Legend Kirk Karwoski

What does your training week look like?

Kirk: My ideal training week is:

Monday- squat and leg work

Tuesday- close grip bench and arms

Thursday-

deadlift and back,

Saturday- Bench, chest and shoulders.


I like to do the primary movement and four assistance exercises each workout. However, in my geriatric condition, training for the raw meet, I had to back off due to the lack of knee wraps. I squatted and dead lifted alternately on the same day, i.e. one week I squatted, the next I squatted 60% and pulled. It worked well and my knees felt healthy.
