From the book

5/3/1 Forever

by Jim Wendler

The recommended Training Max when running 1000% Awesome is 85%.

Because this is three day a week template and the volume is not as high as BBB, you can push the conditioning a bit more during this phase. There is a lot of supplemental work in 1000% Awesome so this is ideal for those that can handle a lot of sub-maximal volume but don't have the time to lift four days/week. This is strictly a three-day/week program. The supplemental work for the second lift of the day is around 80-85% of your TM.
