I think the reason my squat suffered was overtraining my lower back from deadlifts and squatting 3x/week. I won't be doing deadlifts this go around and see how this treats me. I may also switch one of the barbell row days to DB row as well. I believe in the program and will just tweak it over time to what works best for me.
I think the 5/3/1 is a little more advanced and slower progression. I'm very light (160ish) and have been wanting to gain weight for awhile and this is a good program to do that (3 day full body routine). I think 5/3/1 is a good program but I don't feel like I'm quite ready for it and can make weekly progression with some weight gain on Madcow.
