Old Forum 5/3/2 questions

[Deleted member 316]

1. Pavel endorses both 5/3/2 and the original PTTP protocal of one set of five and another set of five with ninety percent. The question is which does he prefer and feels is the better way to go?

2. If someone wanted to run the bear after their 5/3/2 sets, would you just take eighty percent and run with it?

1. The one you're gonna do and do consistently is the better rep scheme.

2. He has said that The Bear works best as originally written" 100%, 90%, 80%

The nice thing about 5/3/2 is not needing to change the weight on the bar.  For the Bear, I'd stick with the original since you're going to be changing the weight, anyway.
