5/3/1 clarification?

[FlowWithTheGo23]

It sounds like you're not even doing SS right (unless I misread/misinterpreted something). You're supposed to be squatting everyday.

Also you will get stronger slower on 5/3/1 than SS

I've basically stalled for a month solid now on SS which is why I'm looking to switch it up. My lifts aren't to where they were back before I dropped 60 lbs, but they're comparable. I could possibly start making some gains again if I upped the eating even more, but I don't feel like doing that with my binging problem that flares up.

There's no way I could squat everyday. I'm repping twice my bodyweight 3x5. I alternate squat and dead on lifting days and my legs are still always tight simply walking around the office.

You lack farm strength.

Just because your training poundages may be more does not necessarily mean you are getting stronger faster. If you only deadlift 315 for 5 reps in SS but pull 270 for 10 reps using 5/3/1 you've actually moved more weight during that session and, using the Brzycki formula, are actually of similar strength.

For the love of fuck, don't pay money for that fucking book!

Either "read a friend's copy" or just do a more worth-while program.

GTS is a huge improvement, IMO. Check out Godsen's log.
