Man this week has been :mjlit:

been on a decent cut (8 pounds in 5 weeks) running 5/3/1 so my ~ 1Rm’s have been stagnant but I’ve been :damn::damn::damn: this week (all ~ RM’s gone up by 20-10 pounds).


I just had to do a double take and make sure I ain’t mistake 10’s for 25’s :dead:

Which 5/3/1 template you running boss? :lupe:

Just basic 5/3/1. First time back in the gym since covid + was always a casual before so prob some beginner gains.

I have one more week plus a deload :mjpls: left but I’m thinking 5/3/1 + FSL next two cycles ... want more barbell volume.


You not even running a Forever template, just doing basic OG 5/3/1? :dead:

FSL, BBB, BBS are all :hhh: status to me. shyt works but man are those boring.

No, he can't.

He used to do that in 5/3/1 and Beyond 5/3/1 and all these noobs took that shyt up to 11 and started killing themselves, then blamed in on the program. He reeled it all the way back and has since been more strict.

Perfect example, I put a homie on to the system. I check in and he's telling me he can't get through a BBS session in one go. Turns out he was doing BBS on top of another template accidentally. Mans was low-key running nSuns and BBS at the same time. :deadmanny:


I for one find the Forever templates extremely low volume (to the point of regression) so I rarely run templates directly from the book. I use 5/3/1 to program my main lifts and then b*stardize them into my own programs.
