Yeah so I checked the FAQ but couldnt find the percentages I should be using for my lifts. Could anyone just take a quick glance at these sets of percentages and tell me which is the correct, or most common/effective, version for the 5 3 1 program


week 1 week 2 week 3 week 4
set 1 65%X5 70%X3 75%X5 40%X5
set 2 75%X5 80%X3 85%X3 50%X5
set 3 85%X5+ 90%X3+ 95%X1+ 60%X5

or..

I believe both are correct. First one gives you more recovery less intensity. Personally I would go with the 2nd one unless I felt like I really needed the extra recovery.
