This template is ideal for people who need to be a little more conservative with their training. You are performing Boring But Big supplemental exercises for two main lifts: one pressing movement and either a squat or a deadlift. The two remaining exercises are done with 5 sets of 5 reps (First Set Last). For conditioning, do something easy on as many days as you wish provided you do so in a manner that allows recovery. If you want to do harder conditioning work such as running hills, only do it two times per week. The goal is strength and size - so don't use this template if your goal is conditioning based. BBB is always a Leader template. After finishing either two or three cycles of BBB, you will change to an Anchor template. There are a number of different templates to choose from.
