Interesting. I mainly picked 5/3/1 (though I'm not really doing 5/3/1, not by the book, anyway) because it seemed like a simple periodization scheme which would be easy follow, especially since I've never done any sort of periodization before. I'll definitely keep your suggestion in mind, though. Do you have any suggestions for a better program?
And thanks for the support! I just hope I get over this lower-back injury soon so I can get back into some real lifting.
Looks like it'll be upper body day today (deload week), so I'll be able to complete it as written. I'll be doing half my usual number of reps. Thursday will be a very like lower-body day. I finally got my shoes too. They're a wee bit big, but I'd rather have that then have them be too small. Now I wish I were healthy enough to use them!
