After nearly 6 years training now I realize training harder does not equal better results. I am absolutely amazed at how much better I look by lifting 2 less days a week, and by doing a much easier more relaxing form of cardio. So much for that "train hard" shit. Also, other aspects of my life have improved due to the fact I am not spending so much time lifting and doing rigorous forms of cardio.

I'm doing a 6 day a week ppl, what kind of results did you get when you were doing it? I've only been doing it for a month but it's going well for me so far.
Austin Scott
What variant of 5/3/1 are you doing? First set last, joker sets? What accessories?
I'm interested because I've recently started 5/3/1 but I'm mainly interested in body composition.
Thomas Green
Depends.
5/3/1 BBB + Joker sets when I'm really fucking feeling great (which is most of the time)
5/3/1 triumvirate when I am not feeling too good or lack time and just need to get in and out.
That 3rd AMRAP set followed by joker set after joker set is fucking A-M-A-Z-I-N-G for blasting through plateaus.
Overall 5/3/1 is good because the routine is not set in stone, you have so much choice in what you do, so you can go hard on days you feel like you're good, on shitty days you can hold back and take it easy. You never get that disappointed feeling on this routine that you would get on say 5x5, where if you miss a set or rep you feel fucking pissed off and feel like you've fucked up.

I got good results on PPL, I did it for about 2 years out of my total 6 years training.
But 5/3/1 for me has personally made PPL look like shit in terms of the changes in body-composition and the changes in how much easier I've been able to continue progressing on lifts. PPL was extremely slow progress with a lot of stalling, maybe 6 days a week was too much for me as a natty maybe, you can still get really good results from PPL, not saying it's shit, but now after doing 5/3/1 for good 10 months after doing PPL for so long PPL to me now is just obsolete.

What do you add as your other two exercises to the triumvirate?
Leo Ramirez
Kek. Nattyfags can't handle volume. This is why you stay small and weak.
Leo Carter
It might have been too much for you. I changed from the normal 7 day PPL to 8 day PPL, so there is a rest day after every cycle.
Asher Ortiz
Your balls are small and weak
Aaron Phillips
I changed from 3 day full body to 4 day brosplit and saw great results. I then changed from brosplit to 5 day PPLPP and saw even better results.
I'm not sure how much the program really matters, it's about keeping it varied. Gotta confuse the body right, user?
Aiden Anderson
Small nuts make your dick look bigger ;) We can also fuck longer, harder and better than you Only need a minute before we can go again We're superior in every way
Hunter Torres
Having big balls is the sign of being a real man, they produce your testosteron.
You had to replace it with fake testosteron because you are a low test cuck.
Have fun with your miniature nutsack ;)
Isaac Richardson
But why is your pepe imperfect cell
Dylan Jenkins
Wtf confusing the body holy shit dat meme
William Morris
I can use HCG at any time and balls will be twice as plump as yours, I prefer them this way. Stay small and stupid.
Nicholas Moore
Dont listen to him guys, he just wants to make better gains then us.
Zachary Gomez
I'm new can someone explain what 5-3-1 means? Is it just the reps for each set at a high weight?
Easton Jackson
Google it faggot
Jace Gutierrez
It's in the sticky I think
Logan Ward
It took you 6 years to realise this?
Zachary Phillips
>actually gives body recovery time to make gains >switches Cardio to a low intensity form that burns fat but not muscle >takes 6 years to experience this revelation
You're not the smartest are you OP?
Benjamin Bell
Cardio change in terms of calories burned?
Michael Moore
interested in this thread, im doing a PPL, slightly modified coolcicada routine, 6X a week, but i'm having a lot of trouble with stalling on Push days
