5/3/1 Need Serious Help

Bigger Stronger Leaner Jim Wendler 5/3/1 Coaching
1

so guys i started the 5/3/1 program hoping to make some strength gains to have a solid base when doing hypertrophy work the is i choose 5/3/1 because it seemed like something different than the basic 5*5 .i ve been training for 9 months for now and i just finished the first cycle off the 5/3/1 but i heard that a more linear base program would be better for a beginner i don t even know if i am considered a beginner since i think my form is pretty good and i have some basic strength levels

-bench press:40kg7
-squat:60kg10
-deadlift:70kg10
-press:20kg7
height:175cm weight:64kg(so i m pretty lean)
DISCLAIMER:(I DIDN T COUNT THE WEIGHT OFF THE BAR CAUSE I DON T THINK IT IS AN OLYMPIC ONE CAUSE IT S TOO LIGHT SO I DON T KNOW HOW MUCH IT WEIGHS)

-i would like to know if i should continue with the 5/3/1 or switch to another strength program until i achieve better records cause seriously it is still mediocre and thanks.

Who did you hear this from, and have they squatted 1000lbs like Jim Wendler did?

You heard wrong or its people that have no clue on how 5/3/1 works.

Stay the course and believe in the program you are doing and get better friends.

With your strength level, Iā€™d do 5ā€™s pro (5 reps on all of the working sets) and FSL 3-5x5, with a training max of 85% and do a PR set every 6 week or so. And I would add a shit load of bodyweight assistance - But I ainā€™t Jim!
