Exactly What Is nSuns 531 LP?
The main program, nSuns 531 LP, is a pure powerlifting workout, which is partly derived from two other programs:- The Wendler 531 program designed by powerlifter Jim Wendler
- The Sheiko Program designed by Russian Powerlifting Coach Boris Sheiko
Wendler’s 531 workout, on the other hand, shies away from the extreme volume of Sheiko. Instead, Wendler’s programs are much lower in volume, but tend to have a higher frequency of training (a.k.a trainees lift more days per week).
Although these programs are widely different at their core, nSuns has merged the two. By combining the 5/3/1 principles from Wendler’s program with the high volume approach of the Sheiko program, the seemingly-opposing concepts actually complement each other.
In fact, the combination of two such resistance training methods is a radical approach now often referred to as powerbuilding, but the results can’t be denied.
