Jim, what do you say?

Take a look at the beach body challenge. Hits a lot of points you’re mentioning. I’m just finishing it off. I like rotate between challenge programs and then more traditional 5/3/1 protocols.

I know the BBC. I want to do my own protocol with my own goals.

sry I forgot: There is no bench press in the BBC.

Can I change the press on the second day and do bench press?

  • no squats on that day?

Sry for the push, but what do you think about the template?

We program things differently here - check out the many examples on this forum and on my forum.

I read the 5/3/1 Beyond?

I took the example template:

Squat
Press/Bench

Deadlift

Squat
Press/Bench

add some assistance work and do the second squat FSL

Jim, thanks for taking time for me and for your answer. :slight_smile:

That’s fine - check out the way we program for long term. There are numerous examples on this forum and it will give you a better idea of how to not just write a template, but write a total program for long term success.

Now, I know what you mean and you are absolutely right.

Two cycles 5/3/1 and the next two cylces are 3/5/1
I increase the weight or the reps of the assistance work per cycle.
For example 5x10 chins and the next cycle 5x11, dips 5x15 with bw and the next cycle +2,5 or 5kg
Agile 8 before each session/ warm up with a jumprope
