This “me” time isn’t spent shopping, watching TV or getting on the internet. You’re spending it reinvesting in your body, building strength, and building character.

If you want to perform power cleans, please do so FIRST on any of the lower body days (squat and deadlift). You would program this just like a regular 5/3/1 lift.

If you don’t know what “appropriate rest” is, ask yourself this question: Did I get enough rest after my last session to have an optimal training session today?

you don’t have to train maximally to get strong. You just have to train optimally.

I believe that any great training program has two things at the top of the training pyramid; Strength training and mobility.

If you’re really starting out with 10% less than your actual maxes, you can expect to go through 5-7 cycles at a minimum before you stall out.
