5, 3, 1 has been working out pretty well for everyone. To shift to a more focused O-lifting cycle I think it would be a good idea to start front squats in place of back squats and keeping O-lifting Monday and or Friday. If you are going to do 2 of the main lifts, Do bench press or standing press the same day as lower body (but it would probably be a good idea to take the next day off).

Any input or posts are welcomed.
