Article: 5 3 2 Workout Plan For Strength

True though or you wouldn't have guys doing 4x12 curls in the squat rack.
 
In two years 5-3-1 will be completely obsolete, old school junk. It simply doesn't work. All that strength was just fake strength, this is the **** bros, studies will prove it, just watch. 5-3-2 will build strength AND it's newest so clearly best.
 
So I can double every one of my lifts? Seems legit
 
hhmmm
 
glad to not be "most" strength is the best way to look good for "most" people, of course unless u have a severe overeatimg bull**** disorder. no offense i habe been there. or u like to drink 10-20 beers a day ( been there too ) getting stromg will get u ripped if u eat decent calories, protein, and enough carbs to get through your lifts. also with a moderate amount of comditioning.

I agree 5/3/1 is overrated. I tried it and it did not agree with me. Old school periodization works infinitely better for me; e.g. Ed coan programs

Just because something is new does not mean its automatically superior. But you are right about the whole fake strength thing. Many PLers at my gym are strapped to the gills with equipment, bands, etc. who cares how much you can lift when you got so much stuff on you have to waddle up to the rack? Their physiques usually aren't that impressive too. Don't know if that's a diet thing or a genetic thing or both
 
Erm, a 25% increase over nine exercises DOES NOT EQUAL a 225% increase in strength.

Bad math

Bad article

What's next a 10/6/2 program?

I'll stick w wendler...
 
The numbers don't add up 25% increase over nine lifts is not the same thing as 225% increase in strength. You don't just add up all your % increases across your lifts. Nice job bastardizing Jim Wendlers 5-3-1. I hope no one was paid to write this article.

You tried it? How long? If you didn't give it at least a year or more then you didn't try it. Period. 531 is tried and true...
