I have been using the 5/3/1 program almost exclusively for over two years now and am starting to become very interested in the juggernaut method. During my time using 5/3/1 I have had to lower my training maxes only once but am approaching another stage in the program where I am going to have to lower my training maxes again. I have read both the original and the 2.0 version of juggernaut and I do know that Chad Wesley Smith has been heavily influenced by Jim Wendler’s 5/3/1 so there are some obvious similarities but what does interest me is the auto regulation of juggernaut.

Long story short, anyone here on juggernaut and like it? Even better, have you used the 5/3/1 program prior to juggernaut and made more improvements?

There’s an inverted Juggernaut method that is heavily based on 5/3/1 if you’re interested in blending the two.

I need to check those out. Any info you can give me on where to start? I might run a power program during part of the year.
