Your favorite routine on cycle

[peter north]

So I figured it would be informative and interesting to see what people's favorite routine while on is. Possibly even beneficial assuming I dont screw this poll up too badly, which I'm sure i will.

Write in's are more than welcome

Love the 5x5 setup also some area's I will hit with a 5x10 (usually tri's and traps only), Also switching up the routines. Also, doing complete upper only, then wait 2 days. complete lower, then back to complete upper. Thought I would try it... and I'm loving it

being on or off makes no difference. low volume, heavy weight to failure.

My favorite? Mark Rippetoes Starting Strength. I can't really do that anymore these days though.

What I do now is a variation of 5x5. Nothing like whats in the sticky though....way too much volume in there for me. I mainly stick to the basics (squat, deads, cleans, rows, standing shoulder press, bench) and then functional strength builders like farmers walk etc.

I stick to 3x a week year round.

can't get that link to work

nm. had to type it into google and then "quick view" it.

Looks interesting. I've been using a customized version of:

http://madcow.hostzi.com/5x5_Program/Linear_5x5.htm

Bill Starr's 5x5. The results have been amazing. Only thing I change is the addition of cleans on M/F.

I might try your routine out for a while next time I switch it up.

I'll check it out later in detail. I'm going back to justin's program cause i don't feel like i can add in conditioning work enough AND recover from all that strength training.

What's the conditioning work exactly? Maybe I overlooked it.

Anyone do GVT training? what are/were your thoughts?

I was thinking about starting up a 5x5. I've always sworn by split routines cause I have found that it was what worked best for me personally. But i gotta try something new to get over this plateau i've hit for a couple months
