Looking good brotha, i started the 5x5 and saw really good results with strength as did alot of people. However, after my 5x5 set, i usually do THREE sets of the other two exercises where you only doing two. Also, the hack squats after the regular squats might get to be a little bit too much as the weight starts to pile on. try some leg ext's or even some hammy work. You might like that better IMO. Other than the it looks solid, and hope to hear good results from it.

good i think it will be great for bulking. if u have eny links or eny diet plans that u think i will get good results from please let me know

 

[evansss]

there are tons on the diet forum, but if your looking for a more comprehensive guide there are tons of diet plans that can be purchesed. I'm planning on getting
"The Pump Energy Food: A Revolutionary Cookbook and Eating Plan to Create the Body of Your Dreams" they have a store in manhattan that i mentioned in an earlier thread thats absolutly amazing. solid food and good nutrition. I would def recomend their cookbook.

It looks very 'Flex workout of the month' to me. but if u know your body can take that volume then giderdone.

 

[bigggdoggg]

whats that mean man?

 

[adidamps2]

whats that mean man?

routine looks fine...you got all the basic lifts in there and those are what matter for bulking or cutting..hit it for a few months and let us know how it treats you.

 

[bigggdoggg]

will do. so with hugh protien diet i should get good gains

 

[adidamps2]

will do. so with hugh protien diet i should get good gains

diet will help alot, yes...

 

[bigggdoggg]

good so if i do everything right i will get god gains

 

[bigggdoggg]

do u think i should raise the others ones to 3x8. and also do i increase the weight on the 3x8 sets weekly to? just like the 5x5 ones

 

[02gixxersix]

Looks like way too much to me. I like a 5 day split on the 5x5 routine. I have taken 4 or 5 of my friends to the gym to do the routine with me who thought I wasn't doing enough and they all said fuck this when we were done. If you do it right and fail on the last rep of the last set then it may really kick your ass. Of course I don't know what your recovery is like but after say the whole chest workout I'm not going to be able to get the most out of my shoulder workout. The whole idea is constant progression so you don't want it set up so that you will stagnate.

 

[bigggdoggg]

so are u saying mine chould be 2x8. i dont really get what u are saying

 

[Eat it or Beat it!!!]

There is no magic workout plan thats going to add 100 pounds of weight to in a short time. the magic pil is diet, consistancy, dedication and perserverance. bigdog the most important advice i can give u is this.....

Eat, sleep, train and never give up.

Stick to the 3 basic lifts and base ur program around them.

 

[blackjack]

looks like a good plan to me. however if you dont mind I do have 2 suggestions:
Monday - i would pick chins OR rows. but not both
Wed - i would delete the flies.

but thats just me. i like low volume. loooks good otherwise.
good luck with it.

 

[bigggdoggg]

cool i u have gave great advice i know its not all about training but i have a good diet getting set up and im goin to never give up my dream is to be a bodybuilder and ill never give up until then.i just want the best training i can get, do u do a warmup on every exercise?

 

[blackjack]

i do a warmup before each new excersise, but not overdo it. just a few reps with a light weight to adjust to a new movement and focus on the new excersise.

 

[inked1]

honestly mate you are putting way to much time and thought into this, just get out there and start lifting some iron!!

I am sure that you will gain from this program, as will most people doing 5x5 for the first time. After a few months though you will probably find that it is too much.

IMO you are far better off just keeping it simple and working around a basic PL program, then tweaking that to fit your needs

good luck
