5/3/1 second edition

[JudoJosh]

5/3/1 second edition: programming big assistance lifts, 5/3/1 & crossfit and 5/3/1 with rest/pause.

Supposed to be coming out this week. I have always been a fan of Jim Wendlers writings and am looking forward to the book. Really interested in hearing his thoughts on crossfit and how he incorporated it into 5/3/1. Most likely I will pick up a copy.. Anyone else?

I'll be buying it. The reason (partially at least) for the 2nd edition is that he was being ripped off and pirated from sales on Amazon.

It is now available for purchase

Also to note you have to click the lower add to cart button, the one within the text box. The add to cart thats on the right next to the book will say out of stock but the lower one will take you to the checkout page

Rodja have you bought it yet?

I want to buy it but am hesitant. I have heard his other books ate basically the same info from the original 5/3/1 all over again and not much new stuff and I am worried this will be the same way. If you pick it up let me know what you think of it

Not yet, but I'll probably end up buying it soon. Some of the tweaks that I've recently made to 5/3/1 include drop sets, rest-pause, and plyos.

Does this incorporate the 5/3/1 for powerlifting?

I believe that is a separate book he has out already

 

[SemiBulimic]

Wasn't sure as I know he had a dispute over sites selling the book and paying him no commission and I didn't know if this was a second edition of that or the 5/3/1 for powerlifting. Is the latter worth getting? Is there enough in it different from the original 5/3/1 to justify the outlay?

 

[JudoJosh]

I only know one person you has the 5/3/1 for powerlifting book and he was disappointed with it. Said a majority of it was a repeat from his original 5/3/1 book and the rest was a bunch of bis blog post and comments compiled together.
