I would like to see one thread on training where 5/3/1 in NOT recommended.
No matter the goal the damn thing is always brought up.

It gets reccomended so much because it’s supposed to be idiot proof. Unfortunately the idiots are evolving

If I recommend FST-7, the guy will end up doing something stupid like Texas Method for aesthetics because he will research and read nonsense like “training for strength before you can train for hypertrophy”.

Or “if you can’t do farmers walks for 2 miles with the equivalent of your own bodyweight in either hand you’re a pussy”

Or is it that there are now countless books with countless variations with all kinds of weird techniques?
It has talked about on here how those that once used 5/3/1 can no longer follow/understand the terms used.
I feel like this just shows how many millions of ways you can use the program and succeed.
People seem to think that, because a new book gets released, suddenly all that stuff that worked in the previous books no longer works. That said, I think a big part of it is people that want to feel like they’re part of the “in crowd”. I see a LOT of vitriol on the 5/3/1 forum from folks that seem really proud of themselves for having read a book, despite not actually accomplishing anything.

Same with doing conjugate or simply training instinctively for bodybuilding. It’s about basing your actions on basic principles pertaining to your goals.
This is what other programs are lacking.

I saw a guy doing elevated shrugs today. That’s right - he was standing on a couple of plates and doing shrugs.
I wonder how he thought the elevation was improving the exercise, or maybe he just wanted to look taller in the mirror.

I felt sorry for him for all 5 seconds, The guy’s on megabucks. You’d think he could have held his concentration. That first goal ffs.
I had an altercation with some young punk in my gym, performing conventional rdls on some hastily constructed stepper, which was about 3ft in height. If he had been doing deficits then fair enough however…
It culminated with him trying to grab my hammies, to try and re-enforce his point. I need to just relax and just let these mongos do their thing, hopefully resulting in some mass trauma
