Good shout on the landmine attachment, hadn't considered that! I assume you're thinking landmine squats?

That's the sort of thing i'm thinking, something for some good high rep burn out sets (the sort of thing you'd usually do on a leg extension/leg curl machine). Is there anything out there that's the...

Thanks for the response Iceman. What are your opinions on sissy squats (both with the machine and without?) As much as i can't fit much in, a little sissy squat machine won't be a problem.

Hey all,

I've been following 531 BBB since the end of last year but am now going to move back onto an upper/lower split for a few months (slightly modified version of Lyle McDonald's GBR. I'm...

Hi mate,

Accessory work is as per my initial post, which is something Wendler put together himself for an article on T Nation...

Day 1
531 OHP
5x10 BBB Bench
5x10 Pulldowns
3x10 Bicep curls...

You've lost me mate. From my maths you're doing 33 sets per workout (albeit mostly supsetted). How would 531 BBB be an extra 2 sets / 5-10mins on top of that? BBB as written is 16 sets (3 of which...

Hey 17mahmoods,

Cheers for the comments. Ref the workout times, how can BBB take 70-90 minutes? By my understanding BBB is 16 sets...

3 x sets of warm-up for 531
3x sets of 531 lifts
5x sets...

Question to both you (or anyone else reading), did you ever mix in things like FSL or joker sets when doing BBB? I read that Wendler advises against it but it seems to be quite common practice,...

AIBHappy,

Hey mate thanks for the reply. Out of interest, what sort of results did you see after a year of it? 12 months well spent? Anything you'd change or do differently?

Also, did you mix...

WolfRose7,

Right, I'm with you now! The books don't explain it very well. So it would go, for example...

531 OHP
10x BBB OHP
10x Pull (Row or whatever)
10x BBB OHP
10x Pull
10x BBB OHP

Thanks for the reply mate.

Yeah with things like biceps, triceps etc it'll just be when I've got the time/inclination. I know they're not essential but id still rather plan then out so that I at...

Hey guys,

I'm currently doing a strength/hypertrophy upper/lower split (slightly modified version of PHUL) but as of the new year i'll be training at home with limited equipment (rack, bench,...

Also, try an upper lower rather than a bodypart split as it will give you better opportunities to add in supersets with opposite bodyparts.

I've tried various programmes over the years; Fierce 5, Lyle McDonald GBR, Allpro etc. All very well designed, all very effective and all can be banged out in 45-60mins. No reason at all to be...

I've been reading a bit on callisthenics recently. Got no real intention on starting it "properly", was just after a bit of a better understanding of bodyweight type workouts for when i'm away...

Hey all,

I've ran Lyle's GBR a few times in the past and have recently completed another run of the program. One thing i want to improve however is my vertical pressing and vertical pulling...

^^^^ What he said

Looks like a generic bro split. Impossible to say how good it is without knowing your current stage. How long have you been lifting? What are your current Bench/Squat/Row numbers?

If you don't already know how, learn to use Excel. Download the free app and tap it all into your phone as you go.

Also good for monitoring weight (can be made to show averages, plot weights on...

Hey all,

I'm currently bulking using an upper/lower split (Lyle McDonald GBR) which allows some flexibility with bicep/tricep exercises. Currently i'm doing the following:

Upper 1

3x12-15...
