Just wondering if it’s OK to not do the program as written and then complain about it’s efficacy. Any help would be great. Thanks

Yes but to really be effective you will have to post not one, but two forum topics about it, and when people call you out for doing the program, you have to belligerently argue with them since that is “how you think the program should be”

That’s the fallacy of 5/3/1. It’s just not challenging. He makes you think you’re “progressing” by throwing out a bunch of percentages with weights that are much lighter than what you’re capable of in the first place! You end up wasting a lot of time by following it to the letter. I think you should keep pushing the way that you are.[/quote]
Its a conspiracy, 5/3/1 is Wendler’s plan to keep you weak forever…

Why would someone want to do the last set of the program if its not challenging? You would think that if you was going to accurately gauge your progress your last single set would be difficult so the next cycle that would go up… SO i basically did go by the 5/3/1 i just tried to find a challenging weight that I can shoot for the next cycle. Is the 3rd week of the cycle not suppose to be challenging? Is it weird my body thinks the 1st week is harder than the 3rd? Obviously not since Im not the only one who feels this way… Maybe your body is different, i just stated my problems with the system man.[/quote]
