Jim, firstly thanks for everything you do on here and elsewhere it is much appreciated. I have rest my TM to 85% and intend following the cycle progression outlined in the passing the Lifting Torch article with an additional cycle of the 5-531, so:
Cycles 1&2 5-531
cycle 3 5s pro 5x5 fsl
cycle 4 5s pro 5x5 fsl lower body lifts, 5s pro 50 reps fsl upper body lifts
cycle 5 531 Pr/goal set on last set and first set
My question (for Jim and any one else) is for cycles 1&2 would the following lifting template be ok/suitable? And if not what changes would you make?
