Getting ready to start 5/3/1 Modification #2 from Coach Wendler’s article below
6 week cycle with no de-load i get, but for the main lift on each day is the set/rep scheme 5/3/1 for all 6 weeks, using the % of 1RM from the 5/3/1 calculation (75% x 5 85% x 3 95% x 1+) or do we use the weekly progression starting with 5 reps week 1, 3 reps week 2, then 5/3/1 week 3?
If we use the weekly progression, how do we make that work over 6 weeks? run 5, 3, 5/3/1 twice back to back or 5, 5, 3, 3, 5/3/1, 5/3/1?
probably making his harder than it needs to be.
