How do you think about my plan? too much volume?

Why is the press trained differently than everything else?

Where is the conditioning, jumps and throws?

Since the muscles involved in the overhead press are relatively smaller compared to other main lifts, I believe it doesn’t accumulate as much overall fatigue on the body — and that’s also how I personally feel. Based on that, I structured the program this way. And I didn’t include warm-ups or conditioning in the overall plan.

You will need to, along with jumps and throws. They’re crucial. And they have an impact on the weights. The lifting is only 1/3 of 5/3/1.

I would stick with how Jim has laid out 5/3/1 for a first time running it. That way, I’d know what works and what doesn’t. If I started changing it before I even ran it one time, I’d have no idea if my failure was a result of the program or my tinkering with it.

After a few cycles, I’d give myself some leeway. That’s what I’m currently doing with Tactical Barbell.

I was thinking about trying the 5/3/1 BBB program on Boostcamp, but after reading 5/3/1 Forever, I decided to try putting together a full body version instead!
What do you think of the training plan itself?

I thought I just voiced that…

Your plan is lacking conditioning, jumps and throws. It’s training the press differently than what Jim prescribes. Jim has many full body versions of 5/3/1: if the goal is to run 5/3/1, that’s what I would do.

For now, I’ll just stick to what Jim says and follow it by the book.
Thanks for the advice coach!
