Program Description
A linear consistent program for intermediate lifters using a alternate version of 5/3/1 beyond use TM or 90% of your 1RM (every third set is a AMRAP set and on the 4-6 weeks and if you run the program again add 5-10 pounds on your TM total for bench and 10-15 pounds on your deadlift and squat TM). Also every joker set (100% sets) is optional if you are feeling strong but is required on the 3 and 6 weeks to gauge how much weight you would add in the next block.
