Training Over 35 Lifter
21

Thinking about incorporating some bicep work into 5/3/1. Have any of you done this? If so how? I am on a M,T,TH,F.

I was thinking about doing it on Deadlift and Squat day or just adding Wednesday for Biceps and Calfs.

Thanks

Basically, I just toss in bicep work when I remember. The day doesn’t really matter. It’s such a small muscle.

Thanks!

I did a modified CT program which you can still see in his thread. Could not make IB fit in my old man family/schedule right now.

5/3/1 for 2.5 months added 10 lbs of muscle lost 2 pound of fat, verified by Bod Pod.

Starting fourth week of new program, feeling strong and seem to be a bit leaner. Need to EAT more!

PS: My last Pin Bench Press was 255 for 5 in the sixth set, Romainian DL was 365 for 5 in the sixth set, love getting stronger.
