I think I have my assistance work planned for my next cycle or two of 5/3/1.
Basically, I wanted to go to the Boring But Big format. It's simple and fast, which I like. However, for most lifts, I'll be changing the exercise to a variation, which is a little less boring. I'm also going to try Wendler's advice regarding working chinups in between my main lift work sets; we'll see how that goes. Finally, I'm not going with the wide stance work yet. It felt terribly awkward, so while that suggests I should do it at some time, the middle of this strength competition may not be the time.
So, here's the plan:
Day 1
power clean, 3x3*
deadlift, 5/3/1
RDL, 5x10
walking lunge, 3x15e
* I have kept these at 135 in the past as a warm-up. I'm going to try progressing them, probably in 2.5 lb. increments.
Day 2
superset:
press, 5/3/1
CG chinup, 3x___
press, 5x10**
lat. pulldown, 5x10
DB tri. ext., 4x6***
DB curl, 4x6***
lat. raise, 4x6***
** I'm sticking with the main lift here as I want to work on form.
*** These are fairly optional. I only do them for fun and for my vanity.
Day 3
power clean, 3x3
squat, 5/3/1
front squat, 5x10
walking lunge, 3x15e
Day 4
superset:
bench, 5/3/1
CG chinup, 3x___
incline bench, 5x10
BB row, 5x10
DB tri. ext., 4x6
DB curl, 4x6
lat. raise, 4x6
