I'm pretty sure I'm not doing them 100% properly but I do see and feel results in my legs since I started doing them. I basically do this:



I go lower with my butt and have the station set up so the bar goes lower on the floor, but I think this is giving my back problems at heavier weights, which I will remedy.

I checked out the 5-3-1 plan and I have to say, in all the years I've been at it you see so many different plans for a "successful" workout and in the end I think if you just get to the gym and work out, you'll see results. If you're looking for serious gains and transforming your body, then a planned workout system makes sense, but for those just looking to get in shape and a little stronger, it's not necessary.
