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…

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.

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.
