My 5/3/1 template is
Squats
Bench
Pistols
DB Bench
Chinups (as its own exercise, not between sets)
deadlifts
bent over rows
single stiff legged deadlifts
DBRows
Chinups (as its own exercise, not between sets)
Squats
Military Press
Lunges
DB Military
Chinups (as its own exercise, not between sets)
My question is, should the squats on day one, the one with bench be 5/3/1 or 5x3. I read an article that had you squatting twice or three times / week and he advised 5x3. I think this way might work better, as then I will have more energy for benching, and wont have two 95% squat days in a cycle. What do you think, and what kind of % do you think it should be? i was thinking 80%
