Hi Touey. I've been using the 5/3/1 program for just about 2 years now. It's a strength based program, so it's more about lifting heavy stuff than bodybuilding. I like to keep my schedule organised, so all my sets are planned out before I go to the gym. I generally call it good workout if I can get through my sets with decent form, in good time, and without excessive pain. If my form sucks or I'm too slow or end up limping out of the gym, but still get all my sets in, it's an ok workout. If I don't get all my sets it's sucky. :)

turn 47 then ask the questSean

With 5/3/1, 95% of his training max should be achievable, especially when he can deadlift 425x3. I was curious if he had a technical flaw, sticking point, or just a bad day-like mentioned, because we all have those, regardless of age.

Happy ending?

lol, nooo man. Seriously though, the guy is awesome. I highly recommend deep tissue and/or ART for lifters who suffer from soft tissue injuries. I used to think soft tissue injuries were naturally cumulative and having them coming back to haunt you forever after was just part of the cost of being active, but I'm starting to rethink that.
