I’ve been reading tons about 5/3/1 for beginners. Most people say its actually a program for intermediates.

I’ve been doing ppl for 3 months and im 17yo,180cm,76kg. I deadlift 75kg, bench 60kg and squat 70kg.

I want to get athletic,strong,fit. I dont want to waste my time counting calories,it makes me anxious. I just want to have healthhy lifestyle and get fit,not go crazy about calories to get sub 5% bodyfat. 10% is enough for me.

Whhat do you recommend me to do?

5/3/1 for beginners or do like sl 5x5 or smth like that? I want to stop ppl because its boring and not intense as i like

Sounds like most people are pretty silly.

In other news, bears shit in woods.

Pick a non-idiotic program that excites you and that you can do consistently and with intensity. Do it with consistency and intensity. Eat to support your goals.

Ahhh, good to see the internet has caught onto the trend of coaches trying to fool us by labelling their own programs incorrectly.

I wouldn’t even consider doing 5/3/1 for beginners until in had my intermediate lifter certificate framed and on the wall.

Funny eh? I just found out boring but big is actually a program with lots of variety and geared towards trainees who want to lose muscle and get small. Those damn baity names…
