Wendler 5/3/1 Training


Wendler 5/3/1 Training

In the words of Jim Wendler the 5/3/1 training system is the 'Simplest Most Effective way to Increase Raw Strength'

So, what is Wendler 5/3/1 training?

In a nutshell 5/3/1 focuses on the big lifting movements (compound movements) squats, deadlifts, overhead pressing, bench press etc

The key factor with Jim Wendler's 5 3 1 method is that you need to start too light! I'll say that again. Too Light

Where as many programs get you busting your ball sack from the beginning, this is different.

The program,

Week 1 is 3 sets of 5 reps

Week 2 is 3 sets of 3 reps

Week 3 is 1 set of 5 reps, 1 set of 3 reps and 1 set of 1 rep (5/3/1)

Week 4 begins again with 3 x 5

All weight lifted is calculated and follows a method (check out the calculator below)
