Yes, you're exactly right.

Hi there. I bought the book about 9 months ago. Results have been better than anything i've done before. Mainly because it's the first time I'm actually following a program, but also because it's simply good.

The progression system makes it fun and challenging regardless of what weight you are lifting. Also, you will make slow but steady progress and have a good view on the bigger picture.

3x5 really is the core of the program, but in the book you will notice that he mentions around 3 warmup sets with lower weight. Also, the very last set you have to go to your max. That is, max with good form. Form and warming up is everything. I sabotaged my progress a few times by being stupid and either not respecting form or warmup.

An example of the lifts: 11xbar+5kg 9xbar+10kg 7xbar+12.5kg 5xbar+15kg 5xbar+15kg 5+(max)bar+15kg

The core is overhead press+squat/bench+DL/OHP+squat, then next week bench+squat/OHP+DL/bench+squat

You can fill in with whatever additional exercises you want. I personally would avoid precision exercises like curls and do as many composite/full body stuff. I do pull ups, chinups, dips, leg raises, barbell rows, windmills, etc

When I make it to the gym more than 3x a week I will do more specific exercises. Usually dumbell stuff.

Just don't ever forget: WARMUP. FORM. CONSISTENCY. FOOD. SLEEP.

I like the progress I've made. Lifting is ingrained as a habit by now and while injury and other slight slip ups slowed my gains, I know that by sticking to what I'm doing will get me results for at least two years to come. Composite lifts are where it's at for me.
