You could do it, but once the weight gets heavy you’ll probably find you burn out pretty quick deadlifting 3 times per week.
he says to use a double overhand grip so your grip is the limiting factor on the deadlifts on his full body full boring template and so id do that to be safe but if I did do this how about this set and rep scheme eg
do a 531 lift in rotation every session and maybe something in the range of 3 sets of 8-10 reps on the other lifts is that reasonable as ideally i want a high frequency 3 day full body template for size and strength that is the same on all 3 days
The Full Body, Full Boring template has a set/rep scheme. Follow it until you burn out, then choose a new program.
if i did that i would burnout as on his template it looks to be 3 sets of 5 and so would be more taxing so that’s why i suggested a higher rep range but if the deadlift is so taxing how about pulling it sumo wouldn’t that be less taxing plus it gives a little more leg development as well

Why don’t you want to use a program that has been proven to work? Wouldn’t that make sense? Or do you think it’s better to use a program that we know won’t work? Is there a reason why you are sabotaging your training? Why don’t you want to get stronger? Seems strange to me that you don’t want to get stronger.
What he said.
Plus pulling sumo doesn’t develop your back as well as conventional.

I plan to do the following starting Jan:
Squat
Bench
Pulldown
Front squat
Closegrip
High pull
Squat
Bench
Row
I am also still working on getting my shoulder flexibility back. Then probably something like this:
Front squat
Bench press
Row
Deadlift
Press
Pulldown
Back squat
Closegrip
High pull
but I don’t follow a weekly schedule, I just train, take 1 or 2 off days and train again.
Why not just use the Full Body template in Jim’s Beyond 5/3/1 book???
sorry i mean no disrespect to you Jim i enjoyed the Boring But Big 3-Month Challenge template and id do your full body full boring as that’s the type of layout i want but feel its more for strength as apposed to hypertrophy plus i find A/B and A/B/C type full body splits to be hard to keep track of
Ever considered writing down your workouts to keep track of things?
yes i do but i have a disorder that makes tracking the multiple workouts over the different days harder that’s one of the reasons i ask for help like i said all i want is something like the Full Boring template but with more of a hypertrophy focus like the Boring But Big Challenge
Sounds like you just don’t care about getting bigger or stronger.
i do but for your information i am autistic ie i have aspergers and as such have great difficulty in the the areas i stated

In that case, use the full boring template as is. To increase the “hypertrophy focus”, eat more. Hell, eat harder. wtf does that mean? start measuring your RED meat in pounds rather than ounces. If you weigh 200lbs, eat a minimum of 3 lbs of red meat a day (scale this accordingly, keeping in mind that more IS better). Then add your peri workout and your milk, beans, rice, oatmeal, veggies, whatever…You will realize that eating for lean mass gains is harder than the training part.
i will definitely be eating well but wouldn’t just the 3 lifts at such a low rep range limit my size potential without any high rep supplemental lifts ?

Add a few hundred pounds to you squat, bench and pull and you’ll be plenty big.
Give it a go, as prescribed. What are you afraid of losing? Use the time you would have wasted “for fun” in the gym having fun outside it and expand your mind at the same time (ie. Do some reading, writing, research, music, art, build some shit, cook, etc).
If you don’t have faith in this working out for you, John Meadows is an excellent resource.
BTW, I’m unsure how you pulled off BBB if you have issues tracking progress?
