review 1: Tried the original 531 and didn't do so well on it...tried a program out of this and had far more success. Just finished up tactical barbell program which is another 5 star. I seem to do better with more weekly frequency on the major lifts...which is maybe why my results are so much better with Beyond 531 or TB. Once a week per major lift with the original 531 wasn't the best approach for me. If you're like me and you respond to more frequency/volume...then Beyond 531 will probably work better for you than OG 531.
review 2: Top notch program for intermediates and beyond. Far superior to the original 5/3/1 because there are far more options, something interemediate/advanced lifters need. The joker sets are ingenious and there are plenty of opportunities for the
... moremore advanced lifter to customize and tweak the programming even further.This and Tactical Barbell are my baseline/go-to programs that are 100% reliable. I sometimes play with other programs, but invariably always return to my two old faithfuls. One caveat. I would not recommend this version if you're a beginner. If you're a beginner start with the original 5/3/1. If you're a 'new' intermediate, also start with the original 5/3/1 first. Bottom line, if you're past the beginner stage in the strength game, and you're looking for solid programming that WORKS and can be customized to fit your changing goals, then do not hesitate to read this and implement it. You will not be disappointed. less
