Im thinking of ending the ICF 5x5 program, what do you guys think?

[Cris97]

I started the ICF 5x5 program in march. Im planning to end it in may then start doing splits. Ive seen a few muscle gains from the program but the majority is strength gains. What do you guys think?

[domenic1995]

by splits, do you mean typical "bro" 1x per week stimulus? if so, then that is a terrible idea

[StrongWant]

how are the lifts?

Nah:/ pounds

You still arent very strong at all so I would either stay on ICF or go on starting strength or wendler 531 and get strong enough first before switching to bro split or PPL. Get to atleast 225-250lb bench for example.

[WeakQuads]

Nah:/ pounds

get on babylovers starting strength instead, but you need to be on a beginners program for a LONG time considering your lifts.

[Cris97]

Damn, I guess

Stop using strength program you started on when you hit at least 2/3/4 plate lifts (bench squat deadlift) respectively

This, if your muscle gains have been inadequate you are not eating enough, I got my lifts higher than yours on ICF 5x5 while cutting.

Work harder, no hate, my girlfriend deadlifted more than that first time. Moral of the story is that you're not working hard enough. Eat hard, train hard, rest hard, research lots. Srs. Gl op, I mean no disrespect.
