Hey Jim, I'm doing 5/3/1 Finished 2 cycles, with four main lifts. I'm nearly 40, ex-military, in decent shape. I train every day with this routine: **Day 1** - Squat - Overhead Press 5x10 - Pull-ups 5x10 - Dips 5x10-15 - Core **Day 2** - Bench Press - Deadlift 5x8 - Chin-ups 5x10 - Core **Day 3** - Deadlift - Cleans 5x8 - Dumbbell Incline Press 5x15 - Pushups (15kg) 5x20 - Hanging Leg Raise 5x15 **Day 4** - Overhead Press - Squat 5x10 - Dumbbell Squats 5x20 - Core I do 2 days on, then run 2-3 miles as fast as possible on the 3rd day, 2 more days on, and take 1-2 days off depending on how I feel (sometimes a light run). I've got a 30-pound vest, and pull-ups, chin-ups, and dips are starting to feel easy. Should I add the vest? My concern is I might only manage 5-6 pull-ups instead of 10 for my assistance exercises. What do you think of the routine? Should I add or adjust anything? Feel free to explain in your next streem, message a bit long. Lol 💪
@@rytisst739 I’m not sure why you wouldn’t occasionally put on your weight vest. It allows you to load the traditionally body weight movements. I also don’t understand the question about the reps and the vest. Just because you wrote down “10 reps” doesn’t mean you can’t do more or less. That’s why with assistance work I recommend ranges of reps. I’d also recommend opening up your assistance work with categories, NOT SPECIFIC MOVEMENTS. It gives you some variety and room to do some auto-regulation albeit with restrictions. That’s the best way for anyone to train. As long as you are raising your GPP , your training is perfect. That’s the only indicator that means anything!
@@JimWendler Thanks for the feedback, Jim! I’ll adjust my training based on your advice. I’ll start swapping some of the specific exercises with categories and work within rep ranges instead. I’ll also start using the weighted vest for pull-ups, dips, and pushups, like you suggested. I’m considering adding 1 to 2 weighted pull-ups between sets on every training day to boost my pulling volume. Thanks again for the guidance, really appreciate it! 💪
I rarely leave comments, but I love hearing such solid, no-nonsense, training advice. Thanks for putting these out.
I never make the live stream but thanks for doing these. I learn a lot.
You often mentioned to build more muscle before lifting weights , does this mean you recommend more time doing the BBB program ? Thanks
Do you still recommend Boring But Big: Beefcake Training? ( a lot of volume is done with a “big” movement.)
Jim might not but I do. I did 531 BBB for 2 years.
Hi Jim, what is your wife's chin-up program that you mention in this livestream? Thanks.
