Thanks.. i am starting the 5/3/1 full body training. Seems like not alot of work each day though. Day 1 squats, db press, db rows.... thats it? I guess im used to just going balls out on splits each day.


5/3/1 is heavy on long term progression. Wendler has you start with a low estimated max and it isn't a program designed to hit you with a lot of volume.

It is designed to have you still gaining LB's on your training max in 6-9 months or so. The early phases may feel light, but the intent is to maximize the linear progression aspect.

With proper diet, good for burning fat and toning?
