Books & Programs

Strength training books and programs written by Jim Wendler — creator of the 5/3/1 system. Every book has been tested and refined with real athletes and lifters.

Beginner: Start with 5/3/1 2nd Edition. The foundation. Learn the principles, the structure, and how to run the program correctly.

Intermediate: Beyond 5/3/1 and 5/3/1 for Powerlifting build on the base program — more variation, more tools, and programming tailored to strength sport.

Advanced: 5/3/1 Forever is for lifters who are ready to stop running templates and start programming their own training — understanding how to transition between programs with purpose and build a training life that lasts.
