Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Son Goku]

shyt is boring but weeks like this are .

side note: I got 1/2 through that forever book and I’m like can’t this guys say “yeah... do whatever the fukk u wana do at this point”

No, he can't.

He used to do that in 5/3/1 and Beyond 5/3/1 and all these noobs took that shyt up to 11 and started killing themselves, then blamed in on the program. He reeled it all the way back and has since been more strict.

Perfect example, I put a homie on to the system. I check in and he's telling me he can't get through a BBS session in one go. Turns out he was doing BBS on top of another template accidentally. Mans was low-key running nSuns and BBS at the same time.


I for one find the Forever templates extremely low volume (to the point of regression) so I rarely run templates directly from the book. I use 5/3/1 to program my main lifts and then b*stardize them into my own programs.

Interesting this is coming up here.....Before Covid I was running basic 5/3/1 and just added in a few auxiliary lifts for each of the four main lift days (I added in a 5th arm day cause I was not happy with the lack of engagement). What are these other BBS and FSL y'all are talking about? Not gonna lie the progress was feeling slow, but it was visible so I was happy with it.....I want to eventually compete but that is in a further future....

Imagine 5/3/1 being like a burger at a fast food place. The patty itself is the 3 working sets of either 3x5, 3x3, or 1x5, 1x3, 1x1, depending on what week in the cycle you're in. The last set is usually an AMRAP set. Your warm-up sets and jumps/throws are your burger bun.

Like burgers, you have toppings like BBB (Boring But Big), BBS (Boring But Strong), and FSL (First Set Last). These are supplemental templates that add additional barbell work sets of either a primary or secondary lift.

Then you have condiments which are not as important as the other components. These are your accessory exercises; they should not be done with the same intensity or effort as the main or assistance movements.

These are just the bare basics. If you don't read the books you're gonna have a bad time.

Yea...now that you mention BBB I remember it. I got the first book, made the choice to go with the BBB, but never called it that.

The first book is outdated. We now on 5/3/1 Forever, aka 3.0 (5/31/ for PL doesn't count).

Not only are there more templates and variations on those, but the templates are now ran using "Leaders and Anchors".

Started reading hoping by the end of the text, I’d be able to decide between A 45 min walk full incline on a treadmill or playing racquetball


But alas here I sit

racquetball sounds like more fun

This is what I tell people all of the time. If you're a a individual without any kind of thyroid issues then losing weight is pretty simple.
