    Opinions on 5/3/1 boring but big?

    Shouldnt be confusing at all, i find it to be one of the easiest methods of strength training planning out there. Its a simple program, start with 90% of your actual 1RM which gives you the TRAINING MAX and calculate the % from there, keep a record of these training maxes for each of your lifts...

    Beyond 531 pretty much covers everything from the previous editions up to and including the new stuff mate. I like it but i also can see its a book not for novices as severe program ADD would probably happen if you havent got a solid idea of what works for your body or how to stick to a...

    The Challenge is different from the normal 5/3/1 template, in the challenge he is talking about ramping up the weight on the BBB each week and dropping the reps etc. if you use the normal BBB assistance template such as 5x10 @ 50% training max or 5x5 @ 80% you still go for a rep PR on the last...

    Strong Men don't need to eat meat.

    Each to his own, i love animals as well but i also love a big steak and couldnt survive without eating meat, human beings are carnivores and nothing beats a juicy big steak or roast! Good on him though for doing what he believes in, much respect!

    we have over 400 US marines at my base currently, there isnt enough space on the internet to begin to explain some of the stupid shit i have seen in the past month... they are unique people i will say that! They like to move shit around in the gym, like dragging a rowing machine up 2 flights of...

    Try the 5x5 @ 80% of your training max for your BBB sets mate, if your chasing strength i personally find this is a lot better than the 5x10 @ 50%. This is one of the new methods he talks about in his new beyond 531 book, its a good read def get a hold of a copy.

    Fair call mate, I didnt pull them out of thin air I just consider those numbers the point at which a lifter can honestly call themselves no longer a novice and by that point would know their own strengths and weaknesses fairly well and have a good understanding of nutrition and recovery also...

    Your not going to get a big bench by doing lots of flyes and tricep extensions... Your also not going to get a big squat doing leg curls and calf raises... Squat, Press, Pull up, Row and Deadlift until your moving at least 1.5x BW bench, 2x BW squat and 2.5x BW Deadlift if you cant do them...

    Have you actually read it cover to cover? Tell me that it isnt the best basic strength training template for someone with no idea about lifting? I wish i had of discovered it instead of browsing a lot of forums that gave bullshit advice... I know it gets a lot of hate around here but i dont...

    4-6 months.. if they started correctly and have done something like starting strength they would be moving some decent weight by now and the best progression fromhere would be madcow 5x5 or something that involves linear progression still but allows better recovery than starting strength or any...
