I had an awakening over the weekend. I’m going to do this right as of right now.
I decided for 2017 I’m going to just jump on in and do 5/3/1. I think for the type of person I am, it fits my profile. It takes all the guess work out and all I have to do is put in the work.
The most appealing thing is that no matter what life throws at me, I can adjust the template on the fly, without having to compromise the program. I can easily morph from 2-4 days without having to think about sets/reps/weight/volume/intensity. Just plug and play.
I will be doing this full body template variation
DAY 1
-Back Squat 5/3/1 + FSL
-Bench Press 5/3/1 + FSL
-Rows 50-100
-Core
DAY 2
-Front Squat 5/3/1 + FSL
-Overhead Press 5/3/1 + FSL
-Chin Ups 50-100
-Core
DAY 3
-Back Squat 3x5-10
-Deadlift 5/3/1 + FSL
-DB Bench 5x10 + DB Row 5x12
-Core
I read the 2nd edition from beginning to end and now will begin this journey. Like a few of you said 5/3/1 will work AS LONG as i put in the proper effort and dedication. My GOAL is to do 5/3/1 for the entire 2017. And see what my results are like after 1 year of true hard work.
