Good to hear from you brother! Your experience with 5/3/1 and TB2 definitely match my own. I see TB as the 5/3/1 “Rosetta Stone”. Suddenly things make a LOT more sense when you’re able to view it from the more exacting lens of TB. Having the exact workouts to pick from, along with them being scaled to 3 different levels (beginner, standard and advanced) gives you a real sense of just HOW hard to be working, and how often. From there, it’s easy to move back and forth between the programming, and even some Dan John stuff fits in too. I’ve really just become a total sucker for the whole methodology.
Hope this plan bodes well for you! I’m excited for your rematch.
