    37yr old 5/3/1 - BBB

    Ok, I am going to stick with the 5/3/1, and be very strict with it, keep progressing month after month, and keep my accessory lifts the same for several months, and be strict with those as well, to get my best gains. Also my biggest issue has been not eating enough, to gain muscle, I need to concentrate better on my calorie intake, I do eat healthy, all organic foods, and stuff, just not enough lately.

    Let's get this rolling

    Just to make sure I read the book right, it says bases your lifting weight off 90% of your 1RM ? So if my best 1 rep on a the bench is 200lbs, I dived that by 90%, which would be 180lbs, and use that to base my Week-1 weights ? So to start would be 65% of 180 = 115lbs ?

    Will be doing the 3 day split, Sunday...Tuesday...Thursday and Sunday

    Week 1 Accessories @ 50% 1RM
    Weeks 2+3 Accessories @ 60% 1RM
    Wave 4 Accessories DELOAD @ 40%
