well off the top of my head you could do 5/3/1 still and set it up something like:
Bench Day
Bench 5/3/1
Bench Assistance (Boring But Big)
Dumbell Row superset wtih Incline Dumbell Press
Rear Delt Fly superset with Incline Fly
Arm stuff
Squat Day
Squat 5/3/1
Squat Assistance (Boring But Big)
Hamstring Curls
Romanian Deadlift
Calves/Abs
Military Press Day
MP 5/3/1
MP assistance (Boring But Big)
Pulldowns superset with Laterals
Straight Arm Pulldowns superset with Shrugs
Arm Stuff
Deadlift Day
Deadlift 5/3/1
Front Squat
Step Ups/Lunges/Something Else of a Simliar Ilk
Hamstring Curls
Calves/Abs
At this stage in your development I think that’d be a fine way to train. You’re still doing enough of the big lifts to get your numbers up, but the assistance work is designed to give you curves in all the right places.

This is awesome, even for non-beginners needing extra upper-body muscle/bulk to bring up stalled lifts.[/quote]
thanks man, don’t think the OP’s even read it though…

We use terms that have very specific meanings like “bodybuilding” and “powerlifting” and apply them to very general goals, and it causes the meaning to be lost. A “powerlifting program” isn’t a program where one gets stronger at the big 3, it’s a program where, for one day, one is able to put up their maximal poundages on all 3 lifts. A bodybuilding program isn’t a program where one gets bigger, but a program where, for one day, one is able to look exactly how they need to look for a competition. Everything else is simply off season work that is dedicated toward certain training goals/blocks.

What a load of crap. Reducing training for PLing to peaking for a meet isn’t smart. Also, a BBing TRAINING program has little to nothing to do with getting into condition on comp day (that is what the diet is for).
However, I agree that most people are idiots about what a BBing and PLing program is.
ps: Building a “strength base” first is really one of the more retarded concepts thrown around.

You and I do not share many of the same opinions on things.
