I actually gave reasons why that wouldn’t work so well, up above.
Ya I read through this shitty thread, thanks.

Yeah, but then you say things like:
and it’s clear you’re a moron and only morons will listen to you.
??? So now using scientific fact in training makes me a moron? It takes a moron to listen to facts? You have a very ironic perspective.
Well okay then?
post the supporting science please.
EDIT: and I mean actual supporting scientific text. Not just a rambling, bullshit reply in your own words which is what I have a feeling I’m going to get.
DOUBLE EDIT: and not some stupid youtube video either. Real, peer-reviewed scientific research that changing rep ranges in a workout means you “cannot improve as well”

I really like how this thread has so many different levels of train-wreck going on at the same time.

Not where I learned it from, but if it takes this to prove tobyou that our bodies have different fuel sources…
Dude, you’ve gotta a decent physique, but your ideas are way out there.
You wanna explain how Sommer’s is wrong?
Also, Wendler is pretty successful and he uses 5/3/1, obviously.
sigh
Yes, I know all about the different energy systems in our body.
Still waiting for the science to back up your assertions about rep ranges…
Look at the link I gave you. It gives basic information on that.
No it doesn’t. It’s a very basic overview of the different energy systems our bodies use. Nothing in it to support your ridiculous assertions about rep ranges.
But whatever. You’re either deliberately avoiding the question or are too stupid to understand so I’ll duck out now.
Best of luck with your training.
Alan Thrall seems like a cool dude (I like his channel) and he’s pretty strong, but I wouldn’t take him as some kind of strength authority.

Considering that Jim wrote 5/3/1 for beginners, and stated that, then he likely doesn’t run it itself, or at least not the base form. If you have proof of him saying that hebis currently running it then I will believe it though.
And Sommer’s isn’t wrong. My arguement wasn’t that gymnastics won’t make your arms grow, but that most people won’t get to the point that it will and that there are better ways of doing it.
What are your thoughts on medicinal marijuana and ARX machines?

I believe that marijuana should be legal if alcohol is. I don’t use either, nor am I educated on either, but as far as I know marijuana usage is less dangerous to society as alchohol.
Pretty much no one runs the base 5/3/1 template anymore. How much do you know about 5/3/1?
He pretty much only trains using his Krypteia template last I saw and yes he’s said he runs 5/3/1 for himself. I’m not about to dig through his forum to find it.
Sure seems like that’s what you said. 
There are certainly other ways of doing it and some of them are likely better, in context, but that’s not what you originally wrote.
@anon50325502 Your reading comprehension is wrong also. Don’t worry he knows you can read so if he tells you to learn to read it’s not an insult.

See, I was argueing against the base 5/3/1 template. The Krypteia variation is better though due to the increased frequency and volume. I can believe Jim running this as well.
I actually said that there would be arm growth above, but since it is straight armed most of it will be shoulders and lats. There definitly will be some that happens to the arms, but very little when compared to the shoulders and lats. That is what I wrote.
