Welcome to Strongman training. Do you intend on competing at some point?

Did you lay this program out based on 5/3/1 or was it provided for you?

I do plan on competing soon. I initially started out on 5/3/1 Triumvirate to build a good strength base and to lose some fat. (Though tight in the chest and arms now, I’m able to wear shirts I hadn’t been able to wear in more than a year) and then moved to the 5/3/1 for strongman based off of Chase Karnes’ template. I changed a few things from the original template because my gym currently doesn’t have the ability to do certain exercises or I felt there wasn’t enough sets, but the overall template is still the same.
