Will concentrate on 2019 Postal lifts once DENNY announces them. Ride my bike up a bluff to work every week day on my 1993 bicycle.

I’ve been using 5-3-1 since 2011. I mostly did variations of BBB while doing strongman. That way you get the heavy stuff in and 5 x 10 on mass work.
Since coming back from surgery I’ve mostly been sticking to 5’s pro with FSL(5×5), this lightens the weight and keeps the reps low for now. I don’t bench so a weeks workout is M:squat, W:overhead, T:deads, Sat:event training.

I’m going to try and follow the Krypteia program (18 week cycle). I have program ADD swapping after a 6 week cycle so sticking with it will be a win in itself lol

Hoping to start focusing a little on the heavy lifts.

Speaking of, has anyone ever used 5-3-1 with the heavy lifts?

John, I have not tried 5-3-1 with the heavy lifts, but I think it definitely would help.

Yeah, think I’ll give it a try after the xmas postal. Just need to figure out high, I assume training all 3 every week will lead to over training since they are so heavy?? Thoughts..??

If so, maybe stretch each of the 5’s 3’s and 531 over three Saturdays instead of all in one week, making it a 9 week cycle instead of 3..
Week 1, 5’s Hip/ Week 2, 5’s H&T / Week 3, 5’s Neck
Week 4, 3’s Hip/ Week 5, 3’s H&T / Week 6, 3’s Neck
Week 7, 531 Hip/ Week 8, 531 H&T / Week 9, 531 Neck
