Easy to follow.
Just getting back to the gym after a couple og years off and starting Wegovy. I set my TMs super conservative but the Amraps mean I'm able to push to very high volume almost conditioning top sets. Despite lifting tiny weights compared to my previous PBs I've developed an impressive amount of muscle particularly in my upper arms and back. Given myself some fantastic definition in my calves and seriously improved my hip and knee mobility.
Coming back from long layoff and good program to ease back into it
Good, simple program that’s helped me get back into regular heavy lifting
It’s the best programme for beginners to advance lifters who are looking to add some strength . Lastly pick an accessories which you can finish 50reps to start with then progress to 100reps. have a deload week on 4th week , do some cardio or play sports . Have fun very enjoyable programme…
Simple and straightforward. A good program to reset my focus and get back on track after 6mos off .
5-3-1 is a great program. Simple and effective.
Awesome Really simple once you get the hang of it
Squats suck but man do they work
In the Boring 5/3/1 program, if I want to add an exercise purely for hyper trophy and not strength, I’m unable to change the sets from a % of max reps to based on the custom weight and sets I choose. I just have to enter whatever weight and reps I do and it throws off my record keeping.
