I bounced around from BBB to a few different templates and then I switched to tactical barbell operator which I run now. The 10 reps of BBB are rough. Did you look at boring but strong? It's 10 sets of 5 reps at the same %, so same volume in the end but I found it less brutal.
Just a plug for tactical barbell operator, It's three days a week of lifting and 2 to 3 days a week of either HIT or LSS depending on the conditioning template you incorporate. The conditioning stuff is baked in and it feels much more like a complete plan compared to 531. Really digging it
I'll check it out. I feel like I'm still making strength gains w BBB, gonna ride it out another 4-8 months. I'll check out tactical barbell operator, thanks for the suggestion
Do you know if any active fitness communities on Lemmy? I briefly looked around but didn't see any that seemed active
I think what you're doing now is really close to "Less Boring But Big" which is 3 sets of 10 for the supplementary lifts instead of 5
There's not really a lifting group here yet.. It would be really cool to have something like weightroom but I'm not sure I'd have what it takes to start up a community. There are definitely folks who lifting and are interested in lifting, just no critical mass yet..
Makes sense, I'm in the same boat I don't have time or energy to start one but I'd join.
For getting started w tactical barbell, do you recommend books etc? Like 531 it seems like there's a lot to it, any good resources?
