So, I decided that I got bored with just completely winging it in the gym for so long, and decided to try 5/3/1.
Its been three months, aaaand so far I really like it. I had no idea that in its core, it was so low-volume. Leaves me with enough energy for cardio and hockey (and jiu jitsu once I get my busy, procrastinating butt back into it. Haven’t got into a club since I moved last November.
)
Makes me kick myself for not jumping on the 5/3/1 train years ago.
I’m not expecting to be setting any landmark PRs, but I would like to see if I can match the PRs I hit when I weighed almost 200lbs, while weighing sub-190lbs now.
Feels weird only doing each of the major lifts once a week though. Just feels wrong only squatting once a week.
