In this episode I interview Jim Wendler, author of 5/3/1. We hit on a diverse group of topics, but one thing that you’ll hear are many recurring themes to successful strength programming, that I strongly believe in, and are the foundation of Jim’s program success.
We cover:
- Why is discipline more important that motivation?
- Building habits for successful training
- Components of effective programming
- Jim’s work with High School athletes
- Is “peaking” in powerlifting overrated?
- and more..
