I’ve been running 5/3/1 for about 2 years now with great success. Recently i got assigned to a new base that has a crossfit gym. I don’t crossfit however after reading up on the benifits of Oly lifting and seeing guys use horrible/dangerous form in the gym it got me curious, i thought it mught be fun to change things up for a few cycles and give them a try. Just curious if anyone uses oly lifts along with 5/3/1 and if so what your results/advice would be. Any advice would be helpful. thanks
i do power clean and hang clean before squat and deadlift.
snatch and high pull on bench and overhead press day
but i do them low reps and dont kill them
Death, funny i was thinking the same thing. What other assistance do you do if any.

well i stopped doing snatch since there was no bumper plates in my gym and no weight platform. I didnt wanna endanger myself taking down the bar.
i am planning to do some jerk press before overhead press, a few sets of 1-3 reps, get some explosiveness and leg driver.
