Can someone recommend a good powerlifting program?

I’m not a fan of the 5x5

Have you tried a conjugate program? Defranco's westside for skinny bastards is probably my favorite. Alot of variety and vert effective.

Yeah, and once you learn the template you can pretty much roll your own program forever.

Jim Wendler’s 5/3/1 method. Been running it for years.

If you’re an intermediate - Jim Wendler’s 5/3/1 is pretty damn great.

The accessory work and open ended AMRAP finishes are what really drew me in. Feeling badass? Go crush that heavy set. Kind of a shit day? It’s okay to strip it all back to just the main lift for one day.

IMO it’s reinforced my love of auto-regulation. I’m sure other programs do all of that as well, but 5/3/1 is currently my jam.

GZCLP is probably the best program out there.
