Last week I came across this feature packed 5/3/1
At first it was missing some features, which have now been added in v2.1.
Download: Google Docs (open link and choose File – ‘Make a Copy’ or ‘Download as’)
Features:
- 3/5/1 for Powerlifters Templates
- progress tracker graphs that automatically update
- stall feature – choose which exercises and how much you want to reset them, without adjusting the numbers from previous cycles; simply type any words into the Stall Box next to the appropriate exercise and enter the amount of weight to back off. Your weights for the NEXT cycle will be appropriately adjusted. Weights for the current cycle will remain unchanged.
- rep goals
- increment Per Cycle: 10lbs lower body, 5lbs upper body lifts
- multi Estimators
- supports kg, pounds and microloading
- plans out 1 entire year
Support Jim and buy the 5/3/1 2nd edition from Amazon.
And while we are on the topic, Jim recently put out a comprehensive 531 FAQ.

there needs to be a cookie-cutter program for olylifting!
How awesome would that be…
But since Olylifting is so much technique I can’t see (other than broad outlines) how that would work out.
Are you from Brisbane?
Nope
I’d have to argue that if you think 531 is cookie cutter, you don’t really understand the program. It is purposely cookie cutter to allow customization and individual tweaks, it allows you to use conjugate method, Dogg Crapp, or whatever else you want.
BTW, check out MSU’s Hormone Fluctuation Model for Oly lifting.
But those are just my thoughts, I don’t even total elite… yet.
I am having problems getting this to download, anyone else having any luck
Try again. Original file was gone, but I have a copy on my google drive. Should work now.
Thanks for taking the time to put this post together!
