I've been using 5/3/1 for the last 9 months, and I figure I've got another 6 months where I'll stick with it some more. I really like the setup of the program and its giving me some pretty solid strength gains (for a guy who's never lifted before around this time last year).Anyone on here that trains Wendler 5/3/1 or for strongman in general?0 -
Yea its a really solid and simple program and I just add some extra assistance work and of course my atlas stones. How many cycles have you ran?0

I've been doing it for 7 months now. Really like it and how you don't ha 3 to lift at 1RM to get stronger. I have done it long enough now to make it my own. I stick to the matrix for 5 and 3 days. But 5/3/1 day is my joker day. I'll do the 5/3/1 lifts and then add weight for some 2RM work. I like going heavy once a month.0
