350 Method Circuit Style

Training

Hey Paul,

Welcome! Glad to see you’ve got a section here! Had a question regarding your 350 method.

Would you change anything about the protocol if you were doing 3 exercises circuit style? Say something like - Floor press, DB row, Ab wheel.

Thanks!

I totally wouldn’t do it that way at all. The focus is to get 50 reps over 3 sets with a 2 minute rest. If you’re doing other movements in there as well, you’re tapping out ATP and glycogen which will reduce the effectiveness of the protocol.

Thanks for the feedback Paul, I’ll hold off on combining the two.

Hello Paul,
I would like to ask you about how to implement 305 methodi into my 3th fullbody day workout. Train 3 times a week, day 1 and day 2 I train 5/3/1 fulbody from Jim Wendler.
On 3th day I do full body unilateral exercises.
A) Bulgarian split squat BW + Chin up
B) One single leg press
C) Single-Leg Romanian Deadlift
D) One arm DB press
E) One incline DP press
F) Cable row one arm
G) Abs + Curl

I would like this day use like “hypetrophy” day. Can I use your method 350 for B,C,D,E,F or is too much in one session?

THank you

What is your main training goal???

I want to gain mass, I started lifting 2 months ago so I´ am very very weak. For example my squat is 3 x 70kg, bench press 3x60kg, 4x chin ups.
Thats why I have chosen fullbody program 531 but my purpose is gain weight. I look like a runner from Senegal.
So I have got 2 days are mainly “strength” days and 3th is for hypertrophy but If I had to chose, I would pick up hypetrohpy.

How come there’s so much single leg work in there? I’d also ask that…

I have Bulgarian squat like “warm up” only with BW. And then leg press and stiff dl. I respected fullbody suggestion “one exercise for quads and one for hamstrings”.
As I mentioned before, do you think that program "guaranteed muscle mass"is capable for me as a beginner even when I can do only 3-4 chin ups a no weight dips?
Or is it possible implemente your method 3-50 and 1x85,70% AMRAP, 50% with some full body or whole/upper/lower 3 times a week?

I know you probably, flame me out or ban me on your forum, but is this possible like that?:

Day 1) Whole body
A. Deadlift 85% x 1, 75% x AMAP, plus a 50% set
B. single leg press set 350 Method
C. Bench Press 85% x 1, 75% x AMAP, plus a 50%
D) Dumbell Row 2 sets of 8 then 2 sets of 12, as heavy as possible
E. Pulldown (any grip or handle is fine) 350 Method
F. Barbell Curl 350 Method

Day 2) Lower
A. Front Squat 85% x 1, 70% x AMAP, plus a 50% set
B. Stiff Legged Deadlift 85% x 1, 70% x AMAP (no 50% set)
C. Lunge (walking or in place) 5 sets of 10-20

Day 3) Upper
A. Overhead Press 85% x 1, 75% x AMAP, plus a 50% set
B. Weighted Dip 350 Method
