interested in 2, so bump

>5 hour of sleep monday
>went to gym after job interview
>dyel, gonna bench 195 3x5
>got 3 reps on my first set
>dropped the weight to 185 and failed on the 5th rep

Anything under 6.5 hours of sleep and I'm fucked. Coffee only helps mentally, has no effect on my energy levels

>I have noticed that 5/3/1 has almost nothing in it if you only do the lifts.
Accessories aren't nearly as useful for strength as they are for aesthetics, from what I can tell. Your bench press will go up if you bench press more, not pec fly and tricep kickback more.
>My bench and deadlift have gone to shit as well. How long does it take to recover from this?
Sometimes a day, sometimes months. Just ride it out.
>Is it really ok to dry yourself after showers more than once with the same towel?
As long as you're not filthy. I'd say two times is the limit for me without washing it.

531 is supposed to be programming for main lifts. Not the volume work your supposed to do on top of it

only opinions follow. the evidence in this area is so weak as to be practically useless

1. what matters is diet, rest, specificity, and adequate volume at an adequate intensity (i.e., enough volume to stimulate a response, but not so much that you can't recover from it). you get a bigger bench by doing a lot of benching. accessories ought to be close variants or prehabilitation exercises, like face pulls

if you've other constraints (wanting to look good, say), then you may want to add in other accessories (especially for your back)

2. sleep is king. you'll probable be back to normal within a few days of proper rest

3. i dry myself with the same towel for about a week. why wouldn't it be fine? just don't floss your ass with it

literaly any powerlifter plan
sheiko, candito any other crazy russian lifting routines

1. Eat, lift, sleep, juice if you really want to lift "as much as possible." Try a bulgarian inspired method if you juice.

2. Yeah it's happened to me before. Sleep right. Have more rest days if you're not on sterons. You should be fini within the week

3. Idk
