I do 5/3/1 too. Switched from 5x5. It is simple to follow. It is not very tiring compare to 5x5. Give plenty of energy to do another routine

I primarily do CrossFit as it's really the only thing that keeps me consistently going to the gym - I'm a sucker for the community.

That said, while I'm able to generally sprint things quite well, my strength was always suffering as it's not a primary focus, so I do 5/3/1 alongside it and it works very well. I've definitely seen steady gains coming from it, and because of the low volume it's really sustainable.
