Wendler 5 3 1 rant

[Violent Volume]

A mini-rant. If you don't know what this means, then you have no business running Wendler's 531. In fact, if you don't know what it means you probably shouldn't be doing anything other than a beginner's program for a while.

75% x 5

I was also asked do I use my current 1RM or my 1RM from 3 years ago? I kid you not.

Clearly, there must have only been 3 people in that weight class... lol

If i was a judge, I would flat out refuse to issue a 3rd place to that poor example. He looks better than me, but he shouldn't be on stage with those other guys..

This would warrant a Godzilla facepalm, followed by an implied facepalm.
