5/3/1 Template for Size

This was Jim’s reply when asked nearly this exact question:

@Jim_Wendler

Step 1: Make sure your eating is AT LEAST 90% perfect. Track this for at least 6 months and if you are not 90% compliant, fix it.

Step 2: Make sure you are sleeping as much as you can and napping (if possible).

Step 3: Make sure every single rep is done with 100% precision, power and near perfect.
Step 4: Give consistent, awesome effort in every rep, set and training day. Consistency breeds success.
Step 5: Choose whatever template you WANT to do and you are disciplined/motivated to kick ass with. Because the truth is that as long as you do steps 1-4, it won’t matter as much as everyone seems to think
