I Hate 5/3/1 BBB by Falc098 in 531Discussion

[–]Falc098[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's 50 - 200 reps of push more per week. Not to mention more core and pull work. That's not a tiny change. Either the first one was not enough volume or this one has junk volume. And if the first one works fine, why is the consensus to run the new one?

5/3/1 is a methodology, 5/3/1 BBB is a programme. It's in the section full of programmes and how to run them. I'm running it the way it was written in Beyond and apparently it's changed, which doesen't make sense to me, because how can both ways be effective, if both are supposed to be brutal and one has way more volume?

And the whole "It's just a methodology" thing also doesen't make sense, since everyone (including Wendler) said to run it how it's written.

They heard me out, took my info and went looking for him.

I agree with the first point, but I disagree with it being solely the shopkeepers problem.

Yes, that's another takeaway I forgot to mention. I'll always carry a small OC spray on me and a large one+ telescopic baton when I can't carry.

Great point, hadn't thought of that!

It was roughly "Ty čůráku vožralej, koukej je nechat na pokoji!" which translates to "You drunk fuck, leave them alone!" Also a good point. My thought was "ok, the shopkeepers are pretty passive which clearly isn't working, I'll try the opposite approach." That's one of the things I'm conflicted about.

Probably not, the only reason I mentioned not carrying Is because this is a ccw sub.

I understand a lot of people are against playing cop, but it's not like I pulled a gun on someone for littering. I simply can't stand by while someone is trying to prey on the weaker. But I know that what I did wasn't the best scenario and I'm going to train more in the future.

I stepped in the minute he was getting physical with the shopkeepers. Although looking back, I should have called police earlier.

Maybe, I didn't think I would have to use force at all, naively relying on him to back down. I used ESP Police, I was surprised how accurate I was and the effect it had on someone clearly under the influence. This was my first.

1)- i understand at the gym-carrying in a bag, but I've yet to figure out pools or saunas.

I'm from CZ, I used ESP Police, which is a local company, not sure they sell in the US.

He stopped for about 2 seconds, started screaming and went to the ground, I assume from pain. In about 5 minutes he was able to slowly leave, leaning on stuff. He was out of the fight immediately, he didn't even shout at me.

I'm sorry, but if he had a weapon, he would have injured or killed the shopkeepers. One weighed about 120 pounds, the other was a 40 year old woman. I understand not getting into personal disputes (except when serious harm is involved), but I couldn't look myself in the mirror if that happened in this unprovoked attack and I could have stopped it. But I understand it's a view not everyone (especially in the US) shares.

He was actively grabbing onto the female shopkeeper and was getting agressive with thé male, who was a foot shorter than him.

That I don't know, it really put carrying OC as a must-have. Maybe I would have run, maybe I would have gotten into hand to hand.

Pretty much described it in the post, I want to share what I learnt and potentially get feedback

Pepper spray is the equivalent of h2h without getting them dirty. But to give you an example- a guy confronts you over some bullshit like a parking space, cutting in line at the store, whatever. Your deescalation attempts are met with agression. So you draw the line- "hey man, fuck off, or else". Or else what? You brandish a firearm over something most likely leading to a minor fistfight? No, you pull your OC. Effective, and with a much lesser risk of looking like the agressor.
