Anyone have a kick ass MASS building program??

[joshbeam1]

I'm looking for a few really good programs designed to pack on the mass. Especially for squatts. One I'd been on was a really heavy low rep program called the power matrix went something like 8reps 5reps 3reps 1rep 1rep 1rep 5reps. So someone who could squatt like 350lbs it would be 215x8 260x5 280x3 320x1 320x1 320x1 260x5. Made decent gains for awhile but now i'm at a plateau. I started the 5x5, but wondered if there'd be something better for mass?? Thanks.

PB routine has helped me get back some lost mass.

that doesnt look bad 3 lifts at 90% should build strength..
however squatting week in and week out may be the reason for the plateau changining things up reps, type of squat may help..

where are you missing? also dont overlook strengthening your abs low back, hams..all will improve the squat

My lower back is prob. my strongest body part. My abs are also very strong. I do alot of weighted ab workouts. However, when I started squatting really low my weight dropped a ton and i feel like i'm not getting anywhere. So thought id try the 5x5 for a bit until my weight came up. should i just stick w/the program i was on?? It worked wonders for my deads, and bench. Just squats are lagging. Could i squat 2x a wk?? would that help?? I do variations of squatts 2, box squatts, zercher squatts. Don't really do leg presses, should i start w/that also??
