This makes sense.. I'm doing a full body 5x5 3 times a week, so I hit each muscle group 3x a week. Opposed to doing my 5-day PHAT which I hit each muscle group 2x a week.. interesting..

I think...

Well the general consensus for novice's is 5x5 so I guess I'll stick with that.. I am sure once I keep adding on my weight each time, it will start to get very difficult.

Hi guys,

I've been on PHAT for 4-5 months, I'm still a novice weightlifter. I've been told I should use a 5x5 routine in order to bulk up and gain muscle.

I've made decent gains on PHAT but I...

My goal is to get this big, or at least something around there: http://www.justjared.com/2011/10/14/henry-cavill-shirtless-on-man-of-steel-set/

I've been eyeing the IceCreamFitness 5x5 and was...

Is this legit? Can you get that big from simply doing StrongLifts?

I hear it is a knock off of SS...

surely you...

Layne stated to do a rep range of 12-15 reps for 2 sets on this hammer strength press. Can I do the same for bench press?

Thanks for all the help! Repped

My gym doesnt have this machine and was wondering what I could sub it with. I'm doing the PHAT routine and I already do DB chest press; can I replace the hammer strength chest press with a barbell...

So I've been ill with food poisoning for the past couple of days.. I do a 5-day routine (upper/hypertrophy) routine.. should I wait to start it off again at the beginning of the week or should I...

I'm pretty tall and I've been doing it where I have my hips pretty low, like in a squat position.. I'm going to try and use the attached link in the OP to see how that goes.. hips higher up

I'm 6...

Is his form good? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=WP8lEbeY4LM

I always thought the hips have to be lower? I guess I've been doing them wrong then lol..

What about chest dips?

Hi all,

In Laynes program he specifies using DBs for flat and incline bench.

Should I stick with dumb bells or can I use a barbell for the Hypertrophy part and dumb bells for the power part?...

yeah.. well needless to say, I love this exercise.

So I'll do it every other day.. should I add other ab workouts or is this and planks fine?

true about the bodyfat, but some definition can be achieved even with slightly higher bodyfat, and working the core helps with other exercises too.

Just did these for the first time.. amazing wow.

120lbs, 3 sets of 20 reps

I will start doing these with my planks.

Can i train abs every day or every other day? thanks

+rep

I do this and have made some good gains

Push/Pull/Legs 2x a week with 1 maybe 2 rest days

sounds good

Also I have deadlifts on my Pull day, should I shift this to my legs day and concentrate more on back exercises/biceps on my Pull day?

Thanks!

save money on the tummy tuck... just hit the gym

yeah I could do that.. and throw in skull crushers to replace triceps pushdowns? if I keep adding then my workouts will be 2+ hours lol..

I'm already borderline 1.5 hours

Yeah well I'm definitely filling up my shirts that is for sure..

one thing though.. I feel my arms (biceps/triceps) aren't getting much bigger but my chest/back/quads have quite a bit.. this...
