always add +5/10 on each subsequent phase. Dosen’t matter if you deload every 3 or 6 weeks, doesn’t matter if you switch from a template to an other (after the phase 3). When you cannot hit the weights anymore, you finish the “1”'s week of the 5-3-1, then you go back to 90 % of those new 1RM and start the whole process all over again. You should be stronger noticebly by that point. I didn’t hit that point yet, and been on the program since at least 6 months…

So I should do 3-4 cycles of phase 1, then jump to phase 2 and do 3-4 cycles and then jump to phase 3… is this a good template?
and always add 5/10 on each cycle and each phase.
My english is not very good so I dont understood you very well.

Ok first thanks Jim for amazing books.
I’m going to start full body next monday and I have some doubts.
Tell me if this is the correct template since my english is not 100% good or I misread something…
Phase 1
1 full cycle (4 weeks including deload)
1 more full cycle with +5/10lbs
jump to phase 2
Phase 2
1 full cycle with +5/10lbs
1 more full cycle with +5/10lbs
jump to phase 3
Phase 3
1 full cycle with +5/10lbs
1 more full cycle with +5/10lbs
is this right?
i mean is correct the jumping weight and cycle repeats? i dont understood the explanation on book.
and what happen after phase 3?
thanks again.[/quote]
Each phase lasts as long as you need it to. That will be a personal decision. After the completion of each cycle the TM is adjusted (just like normal). Nothing really changes at all.
cada “phase” puede durar el tiempo que tu quieres, dice Jim. el program initial dice de suvir la pesa cada “cyclo”. Personalmente, ina recomandation podria ser que si tu puede subir lo pero talbes subir le de 5 y 2.5 , no de 10 y 5, seria una buena option. pero por acer eso, necesita tener pesos de 1.25.
Tu pede lir el livro 10 veces y toda via vas a necesitar ler lo mas… y asi tambien tu ingles vas estar mejorando !
