Clearly this was a powerlifting related bet
Are weight classes not involved in powerlifting? Do you debate this fact? Or perhaps it was rather convienet of you to blow up like a balloon and disregard all things weight classes and wilks
I thought it would be safe to assume you would remain in your weight class
Apparently not
Had I known you would bend the rules, I would have stated such formalities initially - evidently not and you weren't beyond such low level scum tactics to achieve an otherwise I achievable goal of yours

you do understand speed is relative.

so something is only slow if it's compared to something fast.

i.e. compare it to literally any other intermediate level programme.

you dunce.
>>
>>35603399
idk, seems like a lot of people do "speedy" intermediate programs and get blown the fuck out after a couple months of alright gains and gain less overall than they would've on an "easy" program like 5/3/1
>>
>>35603409
that's a matter of proper implication of the programme by uncoached trainees

that's why 5/3/1 is popular, it's 'fool proof' and anyone can plug in their numbers on a site, get a programme and make progress on it

that doesn't make 5/3/1 objectively any faster

When comes down to it, 5/3/1 (even with no modification) is smart, steady progress for intermediate lifters.

Anyone spouting that it's not "optimal" are missing the benefits. It's simple, steady, stupid proof, predictable, modifiable, and effective. Also, wendler has literature spouting how to change the programming when necessary.

Is it the best intermediate program? Impossible to say, because every lifter is different. IMO, 531 is a safe bet, though.

I don't regret a single month I spent on it. Look at Gabe Malone. He ran it for a year and hot really impressive numbers.

keep in mind this discussion was centred around cutting MORE volume from the vanilla 5/3/1 routine - which is why my point was cutting volume from an already objectively slow programme is being cautious to a fault.

Because when those muscles are tight they tend to pull your hips towards their other insertion point. The quads attaches on the front part of your ilium and pulls that towards your knee while your psoas attaches in your lumbar vertebrae and pulls them toward your femurs

So I decided to leave TM and opt for a more volume orientated program. I liked the ideas of Cuckols and decided to give it a try. I am using linear progression on squats because I'm coming back from an overuse injury and gradually rebuilding to my old numbers, rest goes as the program calls.

However the volume difference between TM and this is quite big. I am on the 2nd week and already getting aches in my joints and tendons in various places. I had to cut a few sets of ohp today because I was feeling the tendons at my elbows getting injured.

Basically the program feels great but my work capacity is totally shit and I can't handle the volume yet. How do I go from the volume of the original Texas Method to this gradually?

I dont know if this is the right place to ask, but can you do something like smolov jr. for skullcrushers and curls? I have trouble progressing on those and it starts to kill my motivation

>>35604022
I'm going to make a suggestion, and my hope is that avon will correct me afterwords because i'm completely making this up

"Linear progression of volume across 3 phase cycles"

So lets say your Number Of LIfts (NOL) for squats on TM were 100, and the NOL for squats on Gnucks are 300

Every time you run a cycle of the program (which i assume is using phase potentiation: Hypertrophy block +-> strength block + -> peaking block = 1 cycle), you increase the volume in the cycle to a linear point inbetween the 100 NOL and 300 NOL

I'm just going to make up a ballpark number and say to go 20% of the way - I have NO reasoning why this is a good number. could be too much or not enough. So (300-100)*20% = 40 NOL

So first cycle , try going 100 + 40 = 140 NOL for squats. If you're squatting twice a week, then you would take (300-140) / 2 = 80 and thats the number of lifts you would need to reduce each session to get to 20% volume. Now obviously all these numbers are completely pulled out of my ass and are not representative at all. but yeah, you get the concept.


An even easier way to do it would be to take the NOL TM / NOL Gnucks = 100 / 300 = 33%

then 33+20 = 53%

Take NOL of Gnucks * 53% = 300 *53% = 159 NOL / 2 sessions a week = 80 NOL / session

again numbers are completely pulled out of my ass but you get the idea

again, this is just what i came up with intuitively and is most likely wrong, so take that howeever you want to

>>35604153
Not really helpful... If you have a suggestion based off diet or sleep or whatever, assume I'm actively doing it.
>>
>>35604124
What is DUP?

In a very simplistic way :
Do X sets-reps with 70%
Next workout, do Y sets-reps with 80%
Next workout, do Z sets-reps with 90%
Next workout go back to X sets reps with 70% and a little more weight
etc

You work between the two ends of the volume-intensity pendulum and can have a duration from a week to a whole multi-month training cycle, depending on your level
>>

>>35604179
Thank you very much for the advice, do you know of any programs that use DUP? Or is it something I apply to self made programming?
>>
>>35604158
Thanks for taking the time to write this norsie, you 've helped me again in the past. This all looks really reasonable, only question is : If I adjust the volume based on total training reps, aren't I gonna low ball the first few weeks because of the reduced intensity? Maybe I should do the math based on total poundage instead of just reps? Or try and take into account both?

currently do around an hour of cardio a day and am now plateauing on squats

how much should i lower the cardio? i'm still eating at a small surplus with macros around 50/30/20 fwiw
>>
>>35604302
that squat form tho
>>
>>35604243
my intuition says no

You might low ball it, but you can always just adjust it higher? I'm not sure desu man. I think adjusting via poundage might be misleading.

Personally, if i was doing it for myself, i would calculate NOL and adjust NOL explicitly to working reps / top set reps only and leave warmups out. i know reflecting on sheiko that wouldn't work excplicitly so you may have to be tactful on the weird days (like in sheiko, they have those stupid scatter pyramids- idk how to adjust this to that concept)

>>35604200

>>
>>35604353
Alright, I ll use what you suggested as a starting point and adjust accordingly. What do I do now? I've already run 1,5 week of the 3 week mesocycle (after which gnucks suggests you take a deload and then rerun the cycle adding 2.5-5kg). Just start over and do the next training day with newly adjusted volume?

>>35604416
I'm a shit, weak lifter.
>>
>>35604420
are you already #rekt?

if thats too much volume and its ruining you, then maybe just hit the deload early, and start the next cycle w/ added 2.5-5 kg with the new adjusted volume?

idk if thats smart or not, honestly.
>>
>>35604454
I will go that way and seems like the smart thing to do. I think I am already flirting with overuse injuries if I keep up with this pace without adjustments, my connective tissue is just not used to it yet. Plus upping the weight won't be a problem at all, the weight feels relatively light in all lifts because I was used to the high intensities and RPEs of TM. It's the total amount of reps which is the problem, so deload + slightly upping weights + volume adjustment should work, thanks man

>define vanilla
you're splitting hairs for the sake of splitting hairs now. you know what the argument is regardless of the answer

but to humour you - I count any of the 4 or whatever it is generic templates posed in the book or even on the online 5/3/1 calculator iirc (seen both ages ago)

one of the variations is basically you do the 5/3/1 lift for that day and you leave - so if the most basic set up counts as a 'variation', then I assume any of those in the original book are 'vanilla'.
>>
>>35604312
I think keeping the big but boring work is still a good idea just for the number of repetitions in terms of how to improve your efficiency and practice at the movement.

However while cutting its walking a very fine line with volume. Starting at 40% for a couple sets of 10 is a good idea but if you decide to cycle up to 50 or 60% I would recommend reducing the total number of repetitions in each set from 10 down to 8 or 6.

Keep in mind that the important part of 531 is the working sets and not the accessory movements especially when you are cutting.

Good luck friend.
>>
>>35604747
Thanks bb. Will do. I'm not entirely unused to volume work, back when I first started lifting I did a 3x8 progression for bench and squat. Didn't know much at all about lifting. Doing that at all was extremely stupid, especially for squat. Added 5 lbs every 2 weeks to my bench, added 30 lbs to my bench in the time it took me to cut 30 lbs, which was 30 weeks.
>>
>>35604747
number of repetitions doesnt mean shit when the weight is too low to require any real efficiency at it.

5/3/1 is just meme tier lets be honest
>>
lads im depressed, i wont be able to squat for a year because im changing gyms.
>>
>>35604737
In my opinion it's a really stupid silly argument.

I get frustrated when I hear people calling 531 a meme. Any program that gives you progress is a good program for powerlifting. Debating about how optimal the program is is hard to define because you have to take into account too many factors to say for certain if you were comparing it to another intermediate program.

I think that for intermediate level lifters Wendler has provided some really easy to understand literature that might help them understand programming. He even gets into autoregulation and beyond 531 which is pretty forward thinking.

What I'm trying to say is that 531 is a great program if you read the books and understand it and how to alter it to fit your needs. It's an OK program to recommend to somebody who has an intermediate lifter who still responds to lower frequency and lower volume. It especially has its place for lifters that are otherwise somewhat injury prone, older, or on a deficit
>>

>>35604839
you're evidently just full on the defensive with 5/3/1 now and/or not read everything that has been said.

I've not once said anything about optimisation or said its a bad programme or anything to that effect. "objectively slow" was used very purposefully to illustrate my main point - which is

>severely cutting volume from an objectively slow programme is overly cautious and a waste of time

this was prompted by some guy suggesting 3x5 @50% - which is ridiculously low as part that makes up like half of the routine. its not a sufficient workload to add any training effect to the routine and is just a time waste for the sake of being cautious.

you keep responding saying

>b-b-but its works you guys are dumb and close minded! unlike me!
which isn't what's being discussed here. I even touched on that for you in

take your head out of your ass - no one has been bashing 5/3/1. everyone in this discussion is ADVISING it, we're discussing the best way to implement it.

D
Squat 1x5 - alternate with 5x1
Bench 1x5 - alternate with 5x1 (competition bench)
Deadlift 1x5 - alternate with 3x1


Also, I want to incorporate speed work, bench block, and slingshot in my routine.

I was thinking speed work on recovery day, then 1x5 on friday, and working up to a heavy triple with the slingshot afterward...
Would I die?

Anyway, I'm not missing sessions because they take too long, but because I have no wiggle room in my schedule. I have an hour at night after work, commuting, and the gym for dinner and getting to bed, so if something happens at work or something, I'm just unable to lift without sacrificing a bunch of sleep.
It's only temporary (internship), but it really really sucks.
