Maybe I'm not completely familiar with the 5-3-1 workout, but you seem to be doing alot more than required in your workouts. Why are you going to failure on the final set, is this a factor for the next stage of the program?

 

[PrinceVegeta]

^^ im not going to absolute failure on my lest sets, and i dont think im doing too mch extra work right now, i always liked volume work, thanx for stopping by.

 

[PrinceVegeta]

great workouts johnny !!

how is life in texas ?

Life is great man, just going to school, and chillin with my new buddies, its all good!

 

[hugegunns]

If you like volume why are you doing this program? Jim Wendler produced this and he was a very respected powerlifter, although he's retired and has lost a few pounds, this program was used only to up the 1RM. I don't understand how you take this Powerlifting program and screw it up with volume. The title of the program says it all.

 

[PrinceVegeta]

^^ because im workin on improving my strength on the 4 lifts, tha's all, this gives me an outline on how to periodize my training when it comes to the 4 moves and slowly increase my strength in them. And im not a powerlifter, i just like training, and i feel the other moves compliment and help improve the 4 moves in this program, everyone has a different version on how to do 5/3/1, and until now, i like mine.

Oh and btw, it's not even much what i do volume wise, im done in 1 hour with all my sessions
