Hey Ash
Thought that I would give you a bit of feedback from the first two weeks : )
I did both the weekly workouts that you prescribed and so far I believe that they are going really well. Working under the 6 rep range is most definetly ideal and I really enjoyed the deadlift only day that I did this afternoon.
The 5/3/1 day is an absolute killer but I loved every minute of it. My work collegues have done their first week of the routine (due to mad monday aka. mad monday week) the week before and they are certainly enjoying the change of training that their used to.
And of course most importantly it has worked very nicely in conjunction with full-time work.
One question that my mates brought up that I forgot to ask is do you recommend a de-load week during the 12 week phase?
Again thanks alot
Caleb
