5/3/1 BBS FSL

by Mishanya

Program Description

Feel free to modify as appropriate. The logic is to train each main compound twice a week, after the main lift of the day the second compound is trained as an accessory. Apply progressive overload as appropriate to each lift throughout the cycle. Training max should be 90% of the actual rep. max. After finishing the cycle, add no more than 2,5 kilos to pressing and 5 kilos to other main compounds. Each workout begins with a McGill Big Three drill to be repeated on rest days. All exercises before the main lift of the day are warmup drills. The workouts require a reverse hypers machine for warmup/ lower back conditioning sets.
