Something that comes with human nature cant really blow your mind , can it ? <| sep |> Look , as someone who made their own program for a very long timejust don ' t do it . Don ' t waste your time . Do you know why people run these triedandtested programs ? Because they work . You have to pick one that fits your goals of course . As a powerlifter , I don ' t have any business doing 531 ask me how I know ! if i want to peak for a meet . A bodybuilder has no reason to follow the Texas Method a powerlifting program and so on . If your goals do not have competition in mind and it looks like yours fit that moldthe generally I just want to be stronger then I think something like 531 is a really solid program . There are a lot of variations out there to help you customize it for your self but in general it ' s pretty hard to mess it up . If you want to see good progress , follow programs that are well established and actually work , they are created by the professionals , the actual experts who have seen the program work in real life . It ' s not as simple as throwing a bunch of accessories onto a main lift for each day .
