If you mean the original, bare-bones 5/3/1 then I agree, but add volume and customize it to your liking and it's good.
Just "5/3/1" a pretty loose definition because you can do a lot of different shit with it.

the original program is pretty decent, but people only do the lifting and 'forget' doing the sprints.
>>42542200
the original program is something you would give to an AIDS patient, it has one working set a week
the new versions with joker sets, FSL, etc. are just fine
I don't do that as it's too complicated
but I do
Monday: Squats + accessories
Tuesday: Bench + accessories
Thursday: DL + accessories
Friday: OHP + accessories

I did my first hill sprints today.
I choose to believe I felt sick because of the food I ate a half hour before and not the running up and down a hill bit
>was a beginner, starting out

>did 5/3/1 unironically
>made no gains whatsoever, lifts increased by maybe 10kg each, mostly noob gains

>this time ironically
>shoot up to 100kg, no bodyfat gains, lifts go up by about 50kg a piece

I've just started "5/3/1 for size, Building the Monolith" what does /fit/ think of it? What's the best program for size?

I just combine bench and ohp on the same day, and I don't dl heavy because I have a minor back issue. So if i work out 4 days in a week, I've done upper twice and lower twice. To be fair, I do a decent amount of assistance work as well.

Building the monolith is fucking awesome

I was thinking about adding lateral raises or should I not fuck with the routine?
Guys who run 5/3/1, what is the best variation for mass apart from building the monolith? I can never find accessory work that works for me

lateral raises are extremely low effort and will not impact your recovery at all, so add all the lateral raises you want (same goes for rear delt stuff, flyes, face pulls, band pullaparts etc)
