The key takeaways are that 5/3/1 is a strength training program that focuses on progressively overloading the main lifts (squat, bench, deadlift, overhead press) over multiple cycles. It uses training maxes that are 90% of actual 1RMs and prescribes different sets and reps each week to work up to a top set.

The 5/3/1 program follows a 4 week cycle where each week prescribes a different set and rep scheme for the main lifts - week 1 is 5 reps at 65-70% TM, 3 reps at 75-80% TM, 5 reps at 85-90% TM. Week 2 increases the percentages and week 3 further increases them. Week 4 is a deload week with lighter weights.

Day 1 focuses on squats and overhead press. Day 2 focuses on bench press and deadlifts. Day 3 allows the option to repeat the main lift from another day or use an alternate like close grip bench.
