Command-line interface to print calculations for a 5/3/1 cycle.
Example output for the first week week using BBB as a supplemental program:

Configuration is managed from within lifts.ini
. There are three sections:
This is the multiplier used to calculate your training max. If you want the
same training max percentage to be applied to all lifts, only add a default
key, e.g.:
default=0.9
This sets the training max to 90%. If you want to customize the training max for a particular lift, add a value for that lift:
press=0.85
Define the real 1RM for each of your lifts here. Example:
press=150
Define all the lifts or exercises to include in your current cycle. The key is the name of the lift, and the value is the program(s) to apply. Example:
press=five_three_one,boring_but_big
This will add the press using the typical 5/3/1 program appended with the supplemental BBB program. Each lift needs to have its own program listed in this section, e.g.:
press=five_three_one,boring_but_big
deadlift=five_three_one,boring_but_big
bench=five_three_one,boring_but_big
squat=five_three_one,boring_but_big
The following programs are currently available:
- five_three_one
- boring_but_big
- first_set_last
- assistance
- training_max_test
More can be added by creating a Python function with the desired name of the program as the function name in the python script.
Simply run ./531.py
. Requires Python 3.
