Cheers for the advice, everyones a great help on here and have learned a hell of a lot from it! your only slightly taller than me, if i can get anywhere close to your dp ill be a very happy man ha!

Thanks davis for reassuring me, I'm starting F5 and after a first workout today i rather enjoyed it, didnt feel to bad dropping the weight slightly, hoping haven't started to high on some of them...

I feel fbw are always pushed for beginners and mostly for strength at the 5 rep range, I used to lift a year or so ago but got I'll so had to stop for this past year, so feel I'm slightly more...

I think I'm hung up on the 5 rep range won't do anything other than strength this is my problem as have always worked out in the 8-12 range....

Would your intermediate be better for me then for...

Hey,

currently trying to decide what routine i should run, I've been looking at F5 or the intermediate upper/lower or possibly phil workout. I'm training for size mainly with a bit of strength...

the viking how are you finding PHUL workout, I'm tempted to try it with possibly a few minor changes for equipment purposes, or to do F5, have you had good strength/mass gains off it?

Neither of them look terrible. The squat is 3-4 inches high. Buttwink is minor. You just need more time under the bar. When you add weight to the squat your real issues will show themselves.

The...

Squat form check please, this is first session back from a slight back injury, still playing up a little but not as bad, think a lot of it now could also be phycological.. Also i imagine ill be told...

Okay, looks like everyone seems to think this Will work, I'm going to have to trust it and wait and see in a few months time!

Just saw the upper/lower that Davis has done, would that not be more...

Thanks again Davis for the reply, so after my post above about looking for mass gain with correct diet, this routine will do me just fine with the heavy compounds followed by assistance?

I tried...

Thanks for clearing that one up Davis, much appreciated.

Will this rep range really be okay for hypertrophy and beat the regular split/upper/lower work out? I'm training mainly for hypertrophy...

Intrigued to know if this would work on a higher rep range, like 3x8 for more of a hypertrophy rep range, not saying going to 12 reps every time, just bumping it up to say 8? Or will 3x5 really get...

hey, looking T starting this routine shortly after back injury clears up, first thing is has anyone had good muscle gain from this routine or mainly strength?

Could I replace front squat with...

Right okay then, thanks for the help, I'll let back recover and the think I'll start fierce 5 as everyone seems to swear by these routines and doesn't think a split or upper lower is the way to go,...

but a guy at my height of 5ft 6 ill never achieve a 125kg bench press, let alone a squat?! id have to be bloody massive for that, the most i can see me ever even getting slightly closer to is like...

But my worry is I've not seen anyone or know anyone on here actually run and stick to a 5x5 routine and got bigger, yes people get stronger but I'm mainly in it for the hypertrophy and aesthetics.
...

But I'm not just going for strength im wanting mass mainly? Will this actually give me good mass gains (I know prodimently diet) but will it still achieve this?

I'm up to nice numbers as well...

Sorry about lack of details, the routine I've been doing is as follows...

Upper (Monday)
Bench 4x10
Incline bench 3x10
T-bar 4x10
Lat pull down 3x10
Shoulder press 3x10
Bicep movement...
