I am guessing doing a wendler-esk TM/PR test to calibrate approximate 1rm as I transition between programs at some point?

I am trying to hit variants bars for about a 30% of the year, just to add some variety and keep my shoulders / Lowe back.
yea i would look at doing 2:1 of straight to variants for now.
just test the variant and i would just set TMs and add weight to that like you normally would - 5/10lbs.
so it would look like this
month 1- straight bar- 90% tm
month 2- straight bar- add 5/10 lbs to training max
month 3- variants- 90% tm
month 4- straight bar- add 5/10 to month 2
month 5- straight bar- add 5/10 to month 4
month 6- variants- add 5/10 to month 3 training max
repeat that. yes it only has you adding 20lbs in a year to the upper body variant lifts and 40 to the lower body variants, but i promise your 1rm will continue to go up.
you could even go to a 1:1 straight bar to variant if you wanted.

Makes sense to me - thanks. As I noted in the GSLP thread I’ve done 531 for a few years and a big believer in the program and submaximal training and progression model. A break from 531 into GSLP helped bust some PR platues, however I think 531 programming prior developed the strength / muscle to do it.
I am a week into Strongville and really love the variety. Combination of 531-esk strength training with a body building pump for the second half of the workout.
I am planning on running Strongville (June), Prequel (July) Pregame (Aug / September) Squatober (October), Benchamin Franklin (November) Dedcember (December) for the remainder of the year (with some deload weeks / vacation in between). Then figure out a plan for next year or follow the group.
