Program Description

There isn’t a FSL variation of 531 on Boostcamp yet, so I figured why not do it myself. If you’re unfamiliar with the guidelines for the program, I suggest you go read up on it (there’s loads of info online), but just remember to set your training maxes to 85-90% of your 1RM’s. I haven’t included a deload week in the template, so remember to do it every 2 cycles, or when the need arises.
