531 BBB with Extra High Rep Squats

October 10, 2011 By Gregor Winter

Jim Wendler on modifying the 531 Boring But Big (BBB) Squat

If you eat well this high volume approach in addition to your normal 5/3/1 sets will make you grow.

Cycle 1 – 5 sets of 10 @ 30-50% of training max.
Cycle 2 – 5 sets of 12 @ 30-50% of training max.
Cycle 3 – 5 sets of 15 @ 30-50% of training max.
Cycle 4 – 5 sets of 20 @ 30-50% of training max.

That screams like soreness!
