Introduction to nSuns 5/3/1

The nSuns 5/3/1 program is a workout routine created by a Reddit user, inspired by Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 program. This program is designed for intermediate lifters, recommended for those with about 1-2 years of training experience. If you have been working out for less than a year, it is advisable to start with programs like StrongLifts 5x5 or Greyskull.
