Basically just throwing in some volume after your strength training, like 5 sets of 10? Have you tried this?

So I am considering trying out the 5/3/1 Wendler programme.

My aims are size and strength.

At first sight it looks as if this is pretty low volume for some exercises. It seems as if each...

Ok, so this rep programme is about gaining strength and muscle mass not necessarily doing maximal intensity but steady progression through a consistent regime of weight progression?

Do you mean my current 5 rep max?

b - Surely there are better quad dominant leg exercises to do

Those tables kind of confirm to me what I thought, that my deadlift is a lot stronger than both my squat and bench press :/

Hi, Just wanted to get a quick consensus from the BB community about what you would expect comparable lifts to be in the main lifting exercises considering a weight trainer has a 'balanced physique'...

Cool, Ty

Thanks for your reply, appreciate your help

bump :o

Just watched the 'so you think you can squat series of videos'. Really well made, thanks for the link

One concern I had was working out abs a day before squats. Might be a problem, thoughts?
