5/3/1

Hello everyone, ive been lurking these forums for quite a bit, and asking a questions here and there. Ive been lifting for 6 years and finally trying something different then just plain ol bodybuilding lifestyle. Ive been deployed for a few months and participated in a strenth contest and really enjoyed it, and seems more feasible to do strenth training then bodybuilding. Anyway im trying Jim Wendlers 5/3/1. Ill keep updates as i go along and maybe post a few questions to the few that follow, because help from others is always a great thing. Anyway wish me look and ill keep everyone posted.

day one down, doing the boring but big setup, trained some traps after. Been worrying that there wasnt enough volume, but today i was shown that the efficeny of this does really work you hard.

youll like the 531.....easy to put on size with the boring but big program.....

i do 10 / 5 / 3 / 1

then after max out , 50 % x 10 rep x 5 set

very rewarding n since 5x 10 density come with strenght gain

cns goes berserk n it a great war

i add core execice , dynamic stretches , diesel rehab ,

and it pretty complete ,,

good to hear from you blp, since this is the first week ive been doing everything by the book, can you explain to me what diesel rehab is? Ive never heard of this before. So far im enjoying it a lot, and my cns is already going beserk.

google on youtube , since I'm fighting a healing injury , youtube ; shoulder diesel rehab

i do bench on board press to relief tension

adding speed days , help , i dont believe in deload , you never plan when magic occur

periodization happen by natural factor anw

just starting week 3 now. pretty impressed so far, didnt think training based off percentages could make that much of a difference. Biggest thing ive noticed so far, is my ability to control my body weight, pullups can now be done weighted and thats only after 3 weeks, also the ability to control ur body to do a proper contraction on leg raises have drastically improved.

I will try this.

There is also a few apps out there for the 5/3/1 program
