What’s Everyone Doing in the Gym Lately?

AMAZING topic idea and I want to spend more time combing through it, but for now…

I’m finishing up week 6 of 5/3/1 for Hardgainers

5/3/1 for Hardgainers

I’ve “made it mine” while still staying within the rules of the program. For instance, I’ll take the supplemental work and assistance recommendations and mash them together into a circuit

5/3/1 For Hardgainers Week 4 Supplemental: 5 rounds of 5x351 axle deads, 5 chins, 20 dips, 5 chins

5/3/1 For Hardgainers Week 5 Press Supplemental/Assistance

Or I’ll make the assistance work itself into conditioning, like getting in my 100 reps of push and pull by doing weighted burpee chins

5/3/1 For Hardgainers Week 5 Bench Assistance: 100 burpee chins with 50lb vest

Or THIS monstrosity of burpee KB swings with a push up

5/3/1 For Hardgainers Week 5 Deadlift Assistance: 100 40kg burpee swings w/push up each rep

I was effectively trying to blend “Mass Made Simple” into the program, by including some manner of complexes/conditioning in the middle of the workout and then finishing strong. Squats especially worked out that way with the widowmakers

5/3/1 For Hardgainers Week 6 widowmaker squat: 24x345lbs

Prowler has been pretty vanilla, but it’s what drew me to the program in the first place. Weather has been good, and I found a spot that allows me to prowl at 0400 without waking people up, which has been key. And making it the lower body assistance is honestly just delightful: such a unique approach that makes so much sense.

My Saturday workouts are still insanity

CROSSING THE ALPS: 20x100lb viper press/18x135 Stone Shoulder/16x155 keg/14x185 f/b squat/12x225 SSB

And I’m still doing daily TABEARTAs as well

PBJs x 2: TABEARTA w/95lbs into 5 minutes burpee chins into 50kg swings w/40kg bell
