  1. Analyze the question:
     The user is asking for an SBD training split. SBD likely stands for Squat, Bench, and Deadlift, which are the three main lifts in powerlifting.
  
  2. Outline the approach:
     We need to create a training split that focuses on these three lifts while allowing for adequate recovery and progression.
  
  3. Consider key factors:
     a. Frequency of each lift
     b. Recovery time between sessions
     c. Accessory exercises to support main lifts
     d. Balancing volume and intensity
     e. Accommodating different skill levels
  
  4. Proposed training split:
     Day 1: Squat focus
     Day 2: Bench focus
     Day 3: Rest
     Day 4: Deadlift focus
     Day 5: Upper body (Bench variation)
     Day 6-7: Rest
  
  5. Detailing the split:
     - Each main lift day will include the primary lift, variations, and accessories.
     - The upper body day will focus on bench press variations and supporting exercises.
     - Two rest days per week allow for recovery.
  </thinking>
  
  <reflection>
  - The proposed split covers all three main lifts with adequate frequency.
  - It allows for recovery between heavy lifting days.
  - The inclusion of variations and accessories should support overall strength development.
  - This split might be too intense for beginners, so we should consider adjustments for different experience levels.
  - We haven't specified the exact exercises or percentages, which might be necessary for a more complete plan.
  - Confidence level: 7/10 - The basic structure is sound, but we need to provide more details for a comprehensive plan.
  </reflection>
  
  <thinking>
  6. Refine the split with more details:
  
     Day 1 (Squat focus):
     - Back Squat: 5x5 at 75-85% 1RM
     - Front Squat: 3x8 at 65-75% 1RM
     - Accessories: Leg Press, Romanian Deadlifts, Core work
  
     Day 2 (Bench focus):
     - Bench Press: 5x5 at 75-85% 1RM
     - Close-Grip Bench: 3x8 at 65-75% 1RM
     - Accessories: Incline Dumbbell Press, Rows, Tricep work
  
     Day 3: Rest
  
     Day 4 (Deadlift focus):
     - Deadlift: 5x3 at 80-90% 1RM
     - Deficit Deadlifts: 3x5 at 70-80% 1RM
     - Accessories: Pull-ups, Good Mornings, Core work
  
     Day 5 (Upper body):
     - Incline Bench Press: 4x8 at 70-80% 1RM
     - Overhead Press: 3x8 at 70-80% 1RM
     - Accessories: Dips, Face Pulls, Bicep work
  
     Day 6-7: Rest
  
  7. Adjustments for different levels:
     - Beginners: Reduce volume (e.g., 3x5 instead of 5x5) and frequency (3 days/week)
     - Advanced: Add more volume and consider undulating periodization
  
  8. Progressive overload:
     - Increase weight by 2.5-5% or add 1 rep per set each week
     - Deload every 4-6 weeks by reducing volume and intensity by 40-50%
  
  </thinking>
  
  <reflection>
  - The refined split now includes specific exercises, sets, reps, and intensity ranges.
  - We've addressed the need for progressive overload and deloading.
  - Adjustments for different skill levels have been considered.
  - The plan allows for balanced development of the main lifts and supporting muscles.
  - Rest days are strategically placed for recovery.
  - This plan provides a solid foundation for SBD training while allowing for individual customization.
  - Confidence level: 9.5/10 - The plan is comprehensive and adaptable, covering all necessary aspects of an SBD training split.
  </reflection>
  
  <thinking>
  9. Final considerations:
     - Warm-up sets should be performed before working sets (not included in the outlined reps).
     - Proper form and technique should be emphasized, especially for the main lifts.
     - Nutrition and recovery strategies should complement this training plan.
     - Individual factors like age, gender, and specific weaknesses may require further customization.
  </thinking>
  
  <reflection>
  - We've now addressed warm-ups, form importance, and the need for proper nutrition and recovery.
  - The plan is flexible enough to accommodate individual needs while providing a solid structure.
  - It covers all aspects of an effective SBD training split: frequency, volume, intensity, progression, and recovery.
  - Confidence level: 10/10 - This comprehensive plan addresses all key components of an SBD training split and provides room for individual adaptation.
  </reflection>
