How effective is that program strength and mass wise? I wanted to buy it but want to know if anyone tried it before and had good results.

Are you familiar with maximum effort and repetition?

I will be doing my third cycle of the 5/3/1 method next week. So far the weights haven't been too challenging for the core lifts but the program is designed to build strength slowly.

You have to be a minimum intermediate lifter to start it as it has you progress slowly, too slow for a beginner or novice lifter.

^Yes, don't try this routine if you're not an intermediate lifter and stopped making linear progression with a routine like SS or SL. Once your squat is 1.5xBW then by all means try this routine. Although I personally much prefer the Texas method.

It's a non periodization routine. --- Unlike our fellow members, I recommend this to you even if you're starting out. |

I would be willing to bet a lot of money that a novice won't increase their lifts as quickly on 5/3/1 over SS. SS has you increasing the weight by 5 pounds on the squat every workout, which is a 15 pound increase per week. I would be very surprised if a split routine gave that kind of consistent strength increase for a novice.
Not knocking 5/3/1 - it's proven to give great results - but horses for courses.

Still go for 5/3/1. ^_^ reference: You might like to read this though, it's not related to 5/3/1, but will give you an idea when comparing linear etc. vs. what not etc. http://www.elitefts.com/documents/resistance_training.htmP.s. If your goal is to be big like scooby, then hypertrophy is the way to go. With mass, strength does not necessarily follow, nor vice versa (dave tate - iron evolution). |

I started after I stalled too often on SL5x5/3x5/1x5 (did this program for 8months). I had problems with recovery and 3xsquatting a week so I switched too 5/3/1 I'm using this program since july and like it a lot
BUT
As long as you can MILK the gains from SL or SS!!!
The beginners program serve another purpose also:
Learn the techniques!
