I just began the 5/3/1 strength training method. I’d like to use gymnastic rings for most of my accessory work to try and get a nice balance of strength and flexibility.
- itake 3y agoI tried 5/3/1 in college and I after week 4, I felt like you need to be juicing to keep up with it.

- brosco 3y agoWhat? If you start light like Wendler recommends, the program is completely manageable. In fact, most people I know think there is too little training volume at first. I used it for several months in a row a few years ago and it led to great strength gains in every lift.
- gadders 3y agoWhat were you eating? Were you trying to stay lean at the same time?
- gadders 3y ago5/3/1 is good, but it's not a novice programme. It's more intermediate. I started on 5/3/1 and did OK but would have got stronger faster at the start of my lifting if I had followed the Novice Linear Progression in Starting Strength. https://startingstrength.com/get-started/programs https://startingstrength.com/get-started/programs One the "newbie (strength) gains" are tapped out though 5/3/1 is an excellent programme.
- cyrialize 3y agoI've also seen older people use 5/3/1 when they are unable to recover as quickly from linear progression routines.
