The 3x3x3 routine is designed to increase the overall strength of the body, without focusing on individual
muscles.
Suitable for people with an intermediate training experience, for trainees that have hit a plateau and those for which fitness is a second sport and find themselves in need to increase the power and performance without focusing on specific movements or muscle groups.
Concept
The idea of the routine is to get the body "accustomed" to working as one, with a gradual adaptation required from increasing the weight and a maximum number of different workouts every week, with each including different exercises.The workouts consist of only compound exercises with low volume and high intensity.
With the purpose of strength progress without massive strain on the CNS.
It consists of 3 micro cycles, with each consisting of 3 weeks with different workouts every week. The working weight in the first, second and third week of each micro cycle stays the same.
It's increased at the start of a new 3 week micro cycle.
Routine
First "week"The split consists of two work days, one rest day, two work days, one rest day, one work day, one rest day.

Great workout schedule. It would be great if you could present some diet recipes for vegan people to build muscle.
