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.

It’s the best programme for beginners to advance lifters who are looking to add some strength . For beginners- switch to light and heavy days for squats and Bench (push day ) it will help you recover better and your joints will be happier too. Lastly pick an accessories which you can finish 50reps to start with then progress to 100reps. For Natural ,Intermediate to advanced lifter keep the reps in check on heavy lifts have a deload week Have fun very enjoyable programme…

Gotta see how another cycle goes before truly rating. 4 weeks is not long enough to see true results

Super simple and effective program. Workouts can be completed in 35-45 minutes. Perfect for busy people! The simplicity combined with free choice of accessories works well for staying motivated in the long run.

Solid program to get back into it. Startet with conservative tm’s as I have been recovering from back and shoulder injuries. Finished 4th cycle this week while cutting from 98 to 92kg. Lot of sub max volume. Good for those who struggle with higher intensity. Use accessories to regulate total fatigue. I mostly do pushups, pull-ups, Bulgarian split squats, hanging leg raises, dumbbell rows, curls etc. (50-100reps pull push leg/core).

Great programme. If you really push it on the accessories you will progress and make good gains

Great program for building up main groups that I felt I was lacking a bit. Only added curls to squat days and overhead tricep to deadlift days.
