I keep seeing post about the 5-3-1 system. Especialy when the strongman topic gets brought up. How does this work and how do you apply it?
Would it look something by like this
Incline bench 5reps-3reps-1rep?
And so on with your other lifts? Someone please inform me deeper on it this. Thank you
I follow five three one and have progressed nicely over the first eight months on the main lifts. I would highly suggest getting the book. You can find pieces of information on the internet, but it would be easier to just get the book and have everything in one place.
Look at all the different variations. Depending on your goal, you would use a different variation. BBB is good to start with. When you plug your numbers in, do NOT go off your training max, but 10% of that.
I love Blackironbeast, link below. It will write the program out for you, with the warmups, reps, sets, etc. I have it on my phone in the gym so i can see what I need to do that day.
