What this template is

First Set Last Widowmaker is the 4-day-per-week, 3-week Leader entry, with 12 scheduled sessions. Its opening session uses Lift name unavailable: 5 @ 65%; 5 @ 75%; 5+ @ 85%. Supplemental work: Lift name unavailable: 20 @ 65%.

First Set Last Widowmaker is listed for beginner, intermediate, advanced lifters. Confirm that its volume, frequency, and progression match your current training experience.

How this version differs

The Widowmaker versions use a high-rep supplemental prescription. Compare the three-day and four-day calendars and check how the main lifts rotate through the cycle.

The comparisons describe the schedules included in KeyLifts. Percentages refer to your training max; × means repeated sets and + marks a rep-record set. Warm-up sets are omitted here. “Lift name unavailable” means the record supplies a prescription without a resolvable exercise label; no lift pairing is inferred from it. Use the original program source for progression, conditioning, and execution guidance.
