Nsuns 5/3/1 is a great program for powerlifting. I removed bench press, deadlift, and overhead press from my program as I sorely just want to focus on squat. I have gained significant amount of strength and endurance in squatting, but the volume is too much for me to continue running this program. Would recommend for people who can take in a ton of volume, not recommend for beginners as it is too difficult to keep up in a linear progression, and too hard to complete accessories movement afterwards.

Great program! I've started with different 5/3/1 then switched to this one and I'm not going back. My PRs keep coming and I'm being conservative with the weights because I'm working out alone! Love it!

Fun though tiring. Be prepared to spend 2 hours in the gym, maybe even more with accesories. I like the simple progression because it's really motivating to see the weight go up week by week

Very simple and easy to follow. Never goes up in weight unless you’re able to meet the requirements. I highly recommend to anyone that prefers a simple program and lifting a lot of heavy low rep sets.

The set structure makes it so all sets feel heavy but possible.

this program overall isn’t bad for beginners but the volume is insane. be prepared is all i have to say…you will see results js make sure to rest properly between sets and if you have to take some more minutes of rest, take them. overall tho, you see results
