Beyond 5/3/1: Simple Training for Extraordinary Results

Product Information

He thinks doing as many reps as possible at lighter loads is a safer way to develop strength in the long run, and he is probably right. I suspect that beyond Wendler, that are a large number of strength training variations that, one way or another, address these same two basic targets. Thats a herring so he knows who hasn't been paying for his stuffThis would actually be pretty funny.

Before long, you’ve made yourself a spreadsheet and realised with horror that you won’t be working heavy (compared to current actual max) for something like six months. I actually messaged Jim on facebook and told him I was doing the beyond 5/3/1 program with joker sets and down sets(just like he prescribes) and I asked him if it would be alright to do a 5s progression on the big assistance lifts(incline press, floor press, goodmornings, front squat) and he said it would probably be too much. Rather, we will build the body and strength over the next 20 weeks so that you will be able to handle a greater training load. Now everyone wants a way to cheat the system, to use their real max for their percentages, or to increase their training max at a faster rate believing that this will somehow make them stronger.This program, designed with the competitive athlete in mind, served as a fantastic frame work for someone looking to improve their overall condition rather than focus explicitly on powerlifting performance. You bought an ebook that has what seems like 1000 different assistance options and you can't pick one and stick with as written? Wendler decided to strip away the complexities of the Westside style of training that he had been using and he reverted to a simple percentage based program. Unless you guys want to read a 100,000 word article, or watch a four hour video, I’m going to have to stick to the basic, popular versions of 5/3/1 that are floating around the internet. If you’re interested in 5/3/1, and you don’t consult Beyond 5/3/1 for ideas on how to improve your template, I just don’t personally believe you’re going to make the same level of gains that you otherwise would.

However, in Beyond 5/3/1, Wendler does provide a few templates where “advanced” lifters are encouraged to autoregulate assistance volume and given a few ideas of how to go about it. Your boss is a thoughtless asshole/bitch and rides you incessantly because he/she haven’t been laid in months? Far superior to the original 5/3/1 because there are far more options, something interemediate/advanced lifters need. The Beyond 5/3/1 eBook will allow you to expand your training program to fit your goals and training style.That being said, I have heard great things about 5/3/1 and plan on running it myself, however the book does little more than explain 5/3/1 and then gives the 50 different accessory exercises you could run along side it. If you have been doing the 5/3/1 program for any amount of time, you should know that pushing the last set for a new PR, is the money set.
