A specific routine with certain rep range (5x5) is not going to be the cause of you getting "fat"
What does cardio \diet look?

how can lifting weights whther you are a true bodybuilder or a powerlifter make you Fat?????????????????????????????
ther are some very ignorant people who make this connection and i dunno where it cmes from..i hear in the gym i dont want to powerlift because ill get fat..are some PL'ers fat? yes are some of them lean? yep
what you put inot your mouth is what will determine whether or not you can weight/muscle or lose fat along with your genteics/metabolism

jeep said:add another day of cardio or get more EFA's and drop some carbs and that will most likely fix it.
If your previous routine had you doing more high reps stuff or more volume then I could see how a decreased rep range and less volume could lead to a little fat gain since you wouldn't be expending as much energy and wouldn't be depleting glycogen as much, etc...- that might be the cause, jsut a guestimate though.
