Squat FSL Before Deadlift 5/3/1?

[slonny]

Recently I came acros many threads that mention a setup similar to this one:

Deadlift 5/3/1 FSL
Squats 5 x 5 @ 80
Ab work

Help with 5/3/1 BBB Accessory Work

I have been doing 5/3/1 for about 6 months now. here’s my routine: OHP day: OHP 5/3/1 sets with FSL AMRAP set bench 5x10@50% super set with lat. pulls 5x10 close grip cable rows 5x10 incline bench 3x10 (incline DB hurt my shoulders) shrugs 3x15 Deadlift day: deads 5/3/1 with FSL AMRAP set squats 5x10@50% hanging leg lifts 3x15 (or any other exercises I want to hit) Bench day: bench 5/3/1 with FSL AMRAP set OHP 5x10@50% super set with lat. pulls 5x10 BB rows 5x10 weighted dips 5x10 f…

5x5 @ 80% with Squat ocus

I’ve been doing BBB 5x5 as outlined in Beyond 531 for a couple of weeks and I would like to focus more on my squat. Therefore on my squat day I plan to focus just on my squat. Instead of deadlifting assistance, I will do some First Set Last sets of back squat. Have I missed anything? Will the 5/3/1 sets alone be sufficient to increase my deadlift? Monday: Squat 5/3/1 Squat FSL 3-5 x 5-8 Abs 5x10 Tuesday: Bench 5/3/1 OHP 5x5 @ 80% DB Row 5x10 Thursday: Deadlift 5/3/1 Squat 5x5 @ 80% …

Etc. There are many more.

I have no idea where these people got an idea of doing the main lift followed by supplemental lift @80 TM 5x5, but I like it much more than BBB 5x10 @50-60. The main reason are simple. I am an intermediate lifter who needs to work on his technique. Squating 2x a week would be ideal for practice and recovery. I used to squat 3 times a week when I was doing Starting Strength. One time a week is not sufficent frequency.

These people must have got that idea ftom somewhere, and I saw no opposition from Jim to it. If anyone could explain me the difference between supplementary lift @80% TM 5x5 and FSL 5x5 I would appreciate it. For now, the inly difference that I see is that FSL will be increasing from 65-75%.

I would gladly do 80%, just not sure which template this came from.
