Update 1 – 20-Week Beyond 5-3-1

I figured we’ll through in an update of our progress on the 20-Week Beyond 5-3-1 program after every 4 workouts, since that pretty much represents a 3′s, 5′s or 5-3-1 rotation in the overall scheme.

The first rotation was 3′s for the primary movement (70% x 3, 80% x 3, 90% x 3+).

Here is what we got on our 3+ sets (rep out):

Matt
Back Squat – 7
Deadlift – 10
Bench Press – 9
Press – 8

Pam
Back Squat – 6
Deadlift – 15
Bench Press – 10
Press – 13

Alyx
Back Squat – 7
Deadlift – 9
Bench Press – 7
Press – 6
