Mike Menzer's Power And Muscle Mass Program
As wen gaining muscle mass, u will train wit low reps and heavy weights on basic exercises wen u r training for added strenth. But wen training for power, your pyramid will consist of a lower range of repetitions than u used 2 gain muscle mass. Your rep range will be 6-1, 5-1, 4-1, decresing the reps by 1 suceeding set.anyway heres a good 4 day per week split routine that build up ur power and give u some muscle mass on the side. (pyrammidded*)

1.Incline sit-ups 2-3(sets) 20-30(reps)
