5/3/1 Forever Excerpt: Recovery
Doing it Right the First Time
I just had a question regarding missing reps. I've done about 5 cycles of 531 now and love it. Some odd days I might mess my final set up by having a bad starting position or something small. I usually end up repeating the final set again properly, not sure if this is wise.
In the future, if I miss the # of required reps should I:
(a) punch a hole in the gym wall, rip my hair out and worry about it for the next 4 weeks
(b) suck it up and do it again
(c) forget about it and continue to assistance work
(d) kill myself

I've been on a mission the last few years to get people back to the roots of training; to get back to when training was fun, simple, and most importantly, free of the fluff and crap that has polluted MY WORLD. When training was about strength, about moving weight, and moving bodies. About being proud of an added rep or 5 more pounds. Where performance and kicking ass are more important than how you look. Where people eat to live, not live to eat. Where trucks are pushed and sleds are pulled. Where reps and weight are counted, calories are not. Where running isn't considered the Devil and you don't measure your workout by how much you threw up.
With that in mind, here's a list of some simple rules that we follow:
Saying of the Weak
This is especially popular amongst the population that believes that squats, presses, rows, chins, and pulls DON'T work for them. This is because...
