I know some guys will switch weeks one and two when doing the original 5/3/1 plan so it would be 3/5/1. Is this something you could/should do with the advanced 5/3/1? So it would be …
5 sets of 3@85%
5 sets of 5@75%
5 sets of 1@95%
I liked doing 3/5/1 on the original template. Just wondering if anyone had tried doing the advanced template this way.
I would recommend that you read up on the 3/5/1 for powerlifting variation.

I’m sure he has since that’s how he already has things set up.
OP, if you think that kind of wave is better for what you want to do I don’t see why it wouldn’t work fine. It’s an identical amount of work over the three-week period.
I think with any “advanced” method, you have to assume what’s written on paper takes a back seat to the advanced lifter’s instincts and preferences.
How long have you done the original?
I would do it “as written” for a few cycles. Then after comparing it to your other training notes in a similar situation, make the changes needed.
