    I'm looking to increase my 5RM and Power.
    The area where i'm having trouble is the Squat.
    Would I see better results by doing A or B?

    A
    3x warm up sets: 1x10@ 50%, 1x8@ 60%, 1x6@ 70-75%
    Working weight: 5x5@ 85-90%

    or

    B
    Warm up sets: 1x10@ 50%, 1x8@ 60%
    Ramping: 1x6@ 70%, 1x6@ 80%, 1x6@ 90%, 1x6@ 70%

    Adding 2.5Kg on the next workout after max reps for each set is reached.

    This workout would be performed once a week (along with assistance exercises), my other leg workout having other exercises. I also do a seperate workout for deadlifts, with at least 48hrs between legs/deadlift workout.
    Aims (Current): Squat 195kg (122.5kg x6), Deadlift 245Kg (200kg x4), Sub 6:30 2k - Indoor Row (not done)
    5' 11'', 74Kg

    If you could post up your whole current routine we can look at more than just one leg session and maybe give you a bit more advice.

    Ok, i'll try and make it as brief as possible

    Monday: Deadlifts 4x6 (70-90%); T-Bar Rows 3x12, LatPullDowns 2x6, 2x15; WideGrip PullUps 3x6 weighted.
    Tuesday: Shoulders (inc OHP 5x5)
    Wednesday: LegPress 4x6 (~80-90%), 2x15; Squats (light) 2x15, Hamstring Curls 3x 8-12, 2xDropSet (8-12, 8), CalfRaises 3x15, Plyo Squats 3x8
    Thursday: -
    Friday: Bi&Tri& Abs
    Saturday: Squats (AorB?), Front squats 3x 10-15, Romanian Deadlifts (straight-leg) 3x 10-12, Plyo Lunges 3x12, Calf raises 3x15
    Sunday: Barbell Bench 5x5, Incline DBell Bench 3x 10-12, 1x15, FlatFlys, 3x12

    I also do a Hard row after weights on Mon, Wed and Sat, with recovery rows (UT2) on Thurs and Sun, with a moderate 30min run on Tues.

    I know the cardio is detrimental to strength gains, and will slow down progress, but they are necessary for indoor rowing.
    Hope that helps
