Well I have just finished 6 weeks of the 5X5 program and followed it exactly as Needsize posted it. I started at a weight of 214 and was living off a reduced high protein(250-275 g)/ reduced carb (135 - 150g) and as of today I am at 206 pounds. The reason I post these is the results of this lifting program were incredible, at least in my eyes, while I have been dropping weight. I am 36 years old and really back to lifting more seriously over the last 1 to 1 1/2 years. I keep a strict diet and lifting log and can track my results easily.
Bench Press
1 rep Max Start 305 lbs
1 rep Max After 6 weeks 345 lbs
Deads
1 rep Max Start 325 lbs
1 rep Max After 6 weeks 375 lbs
Squat
1 rep Max Start 345 lbs
1 rep Max After 6 weeks 405 lbs
I am due to start a Deca/Test Enan and possibly Tren for a second cycle. My first cycle was about 3 years ago (test only) and the gains I made over the last 6 weeks were clean, sort of. I did do 1 week of M1T with 4AD, but had to stop because somehow my wife threw out the bottle of M1T by mistake????
Again Needsize, GREAT PROGRAM!!! Thanks.
Faye your diet suggestions have been great as well, I am still dropping weight and BF but LM is staying.
Real Gains I am going to follow your advice, Thanks for your input.
As always the best info I have gotten for myself or my 16 year old son comes from S'ology. I want to thank everyone for the great info I have received here.
