    For the last 2 months, I’ve been doing a 3-day split, focused on each of the 3 main powerlifting exercises (bench, deadlift, squat) and related accessories, aiming at 3x5 of what my 5 rep max is.

    From some discussions I had here last week, I’ve decided this will be my last week doing that, and switching over to a 5/3/1. But I was able to hit 5 reps of each of the following:

    Bench: 180 lbs
    Squat: 335 lbs
    Deadlift: 385 lbs

    I’ll use this snapshot of where I am now, to plan out how I’ll do 5/3/1 over the next two or three cycles, and see how I feel about the program after.

        Not yet. Reading Wendler’s stuff posted throughout the internet, some old reddit posts discussing different concepts and issues talking about the basic framework, gives me some ideas of how I’ll approach it. I suspect it won’t be a big change in what exercises I’m actually doing, but will mainly be a shift in how much weight and reps I’m going for on any given day.

        But I’ll figure it out this weekend, enter next week with a plan.

          Wendler’s writing can be a little bit confusing, if you have any questions I’ve pretty much deciphered it and am familiar enough to help set up any of the templates
