I am well into Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 routine and so far I am really enjoying it. The training sessions are simple, tough but not so brutal that I am dreading them as I have in previous training routines.

Here are a couple of recent training sessions:

• A1 Strict Fat Bar Military Press

• A2 Pull-ups
• 6 x 8
• B1 Fat Bar Jerks
• 215 x 5 x 5

• 135 x 5, 185 x 5, 225 x 5, 275 x 5, 315 x 5, 365 x 3, 405 x 1
