New training program, new thread. Im sure most of you are aware of Jims
3 Days a Week Manual. I am doing the 5/3/1 Method from it, but have no idea what program number it is in the book. My 3 main lifts are Box Squat, Sumo deadlift, and bent over row. At the start of this, I am 295lbs and approximately 20% bodyfat. My goal with the program is to squat 1000lbs and Deadlift 700lbs@275 at the Ironhouse Classic in April. Today was Week 1, Day 1.

For those of you looking for a new program, or just looking to switch up what you are doing now, I would suggest buying the book, and giving this a shot. Honestly, when I first looked at it, I thought it was too little work, and that i might become detrained from using it. However, after doing the workout, i can honestly say that it is definitely on par with what I was doing before. It is apparent now that you can get big and strong doing relatively less work. I got all of this in, along with the standard bullshitting that we do, in an hour and 15 minutes.
