Ok, im thinking of starting reg park 5x5, but im a litlle confused.
This question has probably been asked already, but i didnt read all pages. I thought the magic rep range for mass was 8-12, with only 5 reps will i see good mass gains? Hypertrophy is my main goal .
IM TRYING TO DECIDE IF THIS IS RIGHT FOR ME, IVE BEEN BACK IN THE GYM FOR A COUPLE YEARS, TRYING TO DO IT RIGHT THIS TIME AROUND. I HAVE GAINED ABOUT 25LBS . I HAD A COUPLE STOPS FROM BEING SICK OR FAMILY AFFAIRS. I AM READY TO GET STRICT AND DISCIPLINED.
ALSO, DOES WRIST WORK MEAN CURLS OR FOREARM WORK, AND IF FOREARM, WHY NO BICEP CURLS?Last edited by elguayo; 06-12-2015 at 04:18 PM.

Howdy folks. I'm brand new, never lifted. I know not to start with this routine, you were explicit in stressing that fact. So i know I havento atart with some other beginners routine. How will I know when I'm ready to try this one?
Anyways this guide struck a chord with me. I dont know why, maybe its just because of my ignorance lol. But I'm eager to get started with everything and I hope I dont have to wait too long before i'm ready to try this.

following 5x5 strength routines are not making enough mass gains. I mean routines like starting strength or stronglifts. those routines just doesn't have enough volume to trigger growing. at least this is what I experienced, then I followed reg parks 5x5 program and gained good amount of muscle. also gained strength btw

What a great thread, Thanks.
I'm about 6 weeks in to Starting Strength 5x5 and going ok. Diet is the hardest but I'm eating as much and as clean as I can. I've put on 10lbs so something is right
Is it worth switching to Reg's 5x5 or stick to what I know until i plateau and then switch? Reg's looks like a LOT more volume per week.

I have never done ss. But pure vanilla ss looks like it has a boring amount of volume. I would say give ss 2 to 6 more weeks then do a small deload and do this program for a few months. Mainly because it's good practice to stick with a program you start.
Although I switched from this program to Fierce 5 and am liking fierce 5 more, possibly because its new, and possibly because I get to bench or incline bench every workout.

5x5 is a strength program. Hypertrophy is a hypertrophy program. 8-12 reps is a hypertrophy. You will not, (based on my experience only) get good mass gains from a 5x5 program. You will if you're a complete newbie make early gains on a 5x5. The second you start stalling on a 5x5 is time to change, imo.
