Week #3 of Macrocycle #1

In case anyone is wondering - this is how I structure my programming and training. I use an Excel spreadsheet so I can calculate weekly tonnage and take a look at where most of my work lies. I usually organize my training into 4 week blocks - week #1 is an introduction week with lower intensity (% of 1RM) but higher volume, week #2 is the highest in terms of total amount of weight lifted in KG (tonnage) as intensity is raised and volume either slightly raised or around the same, and week #3 intensity is up again but volume is reduced slightly. For example, first week's tonnage = 56000, second week's tonnage = 70000, and third week's = 58000. Fourth week's hasn't been calculated yet but will be around 45000, then I start over and plan a new training block, structured around my perceived weaknesses. 


Here is the breakdown of my third week of loading. Next week will mark a scheduled deload and a reduction in volume, although raised intensity on squats and pulls. The layout is:
