I agree that it would run me into the ground, but there are programs out there ie 531 that use that approach and people seem to have success with them.

Yeah but I’ve seen even sully say he does a cycle of 531 a year. I’ve tried it and it didn’t work for me, I definitely prefer the higher intensity programs, but I see some post novices claim to have good results from them. The fact that Chris cuomo follows 531 is enough for me to turn away, as much as I like Wendler. Then there are programs like mass made simple Dan John swears by, but I honestly think Dan is enough of a genetic freak that he can do just about any program and do well on it.
