The Answer? Wendler 5/3/1 Series

How do I do Wendler 5/3/1?
  1. DOWNLOAD the spreadsheet and save it.
  2. Enter your 1-rep maxes.  If you haven’t done a true 1-rep max this month, we will help you use the spreadsheet to calculate your theoretical 1-rep max
  3. BRING the spreadsheet with you everytime:  Print it, download it, tattoo it on your arm, whatever it takes to get the information here at the same time you are.
  4. Lift the weights as prescribed
  5. Record your results in Beyond the Whiteboard.
What is Wendler 5/3/1?
  • Wender 5/3/1 is a proven platform for developing raw strength in the following lifts:
    • Shoulder Press
    • Deadlift
    • Weighted Pull-ups (the Wendler series normally has bench press)
    • Squats

Why should I follow the Wendler series?

Strong people are harder to kill than weak people, and more useful in general.  ~Mark Rippetoe

How long does the program last?
  • 24 weeks.
  • Each month you will do sets of 5 the first week, 3 the second week, 1 the third week, followed by a deloaded week to allow for recovery.
What if I miss a scheduled workout, how can I do Wendler 5/3/1?
  • Double up the exercises.  The best pairs are: deadlift & shoulder press; back squat & weighted pull-ups.
  • We will program one lift per day, so  you will need to either come early to get both lifts in or stay after the CrossFit WOD.  Either is acceptable.

I’m injured or recovering from an injury, can I do Wendler 5/3/1?

  • Absolutely, within the given limits of your recovery.  One month of Wendler 5/3/1 has made a BIG difference increasing my hip and knee performance.
  • It is crucial that you use your CURRENT 1-rep max.  This is a long-term plan designed to take you from mortal to Mt Olympian.
The weights seem light to me, what should I do?
  • Trust the numbers, this is a long-term progression and when you finish you’ll start again.
  • Work on doing each rep PERFECTLY.  We really don’t care how much you can lift with bad form.


 What if I can’t remember my weights for each workout?

  • 25 burpees has been shown to bring the memory to the surface.
  • You can then use the computer in the office to look up your numbers.
