This is a 6 week long powerlifting volume block for novice lifters from the smart folks at Squats & Science.

This program has the beginner lifter training 6 days per week. Squats and bench press are both trained 3 times per week, while deadlift is trained 2 times per week. It should be run prior to a strength or peaking block to help accumulate volume before tapering the volume and increasing intensity.
