Just came back to post that after only 3 weeks into the program, I met a friend I haven't seen in a while and first thing she said: "oh, what's going on with your arms? Are you working out?"
Honestly I don't see a lot of difference, but it was nice to hear that nonetheless! I'm too lazy to micromanage the macros, but it makes me wonder how different would the results be if I did.
Just a little rant. And thanks again people from the thread for the support.

It seems like this program welcomes cardio. But noob question: How much cardio is too much cardio if I'm on a slow bulk? I usually run 1.5-2.5 miles walking/running for 20 minutes 3-4 days a week. because cardio makes me feel good.

Didn't know where to post this as it has no section for it.
About recovery. Does fully recovering means the soreness in the muscle is gone or your muscles could fully recover and ready for the next workout even if they are sore.
I ask this cuz Saturday was workout A and the next day I felt my whole leg muscles sore especially my adductor (first time I get this) and they were very sore and today is workout B and they are still sore. So this question came to my mindOne of the most intimidating things about losing weight is how complicated we're all led to believe it is, but it isn't.

So with the db curls, do you add 5lbs every week? Because you would be adding 5lbs on just one arm. Stupid question I know. You don't use one arm to lift two Dumbbells but just thought I'd ask to double check

I'm gonna leave this here for you to look over: http://www.aworkoutroutine.com/elbow-pain/
I started having issues and figured out it was from using a straight bar. A curl bar or better yet, DB's fixed me up. Pendlays will aggravate it too. Hope this helps.

Sorry if this has been posted , I really like the program but can I replace Bench with DB chest press or DB Incline chest-press?. I usually go to the gym at around 6:30 am and usually find it empty so never have spotters around
Cheers

You can indeed sir.
Be warned tho...there are Pro's and cons.
Pros. Longer rom, more stabilisers needed.
Cons. Longer rom, more stabilisers needed. ;-)
Progression WILL be slower. You may have to add a few reps before you are able to up the weight.
Day 1 3x5
Day 2 3x6
Day 3 3x7
Day 4 3x8 add weight
Day 5 3x5
.. And so on. Use your best judgment on this. you may be able to go 3x5 for weeks before
Needing to add reps at the same weight.
You may find you need to work in a slightly higher rep range to begin with. Maybe 3x8 as base. Again i dont run db for my primary push so . Ymmv.

Will I gain decent size from this besides just strength? Is it worth doing 10 reps each set, or just stick with the 5?

Best change it to 30 rep sets if you want to get big. More reps, more bigger.
I'm joking. Obviously. :-)
Stick to the program. You're gonna get stronger and bigger, FASTER doing the program as prescribed. Providing you are eating to get bigger.
Very rarely will i bench OUTSIDE the power rack with or without a lift off guy / spotter.
A Spotter aint catching the bar if your grip slips..nah mean? Rather make a noise of metal hitting metal than crush my chest or throat.FMH crew - Couch.

I've lost my grip (with wrapped thumbs) before and it happens faster than you can imagine. Luckily it was only 225 (maybe 135, can't remember) I think so it just bounced off, but had it been much more it could have been a serious injury. When one hand slips they both slip and you're fukked.

I must be living on the edge then, we dont have a power rack at my gym and I cant bench in the squat rack with the safety bars as they dont want a bench on the deadlift platform, scratches the wood up or something!
Luckily there are a few guys there who lift frequently and are always happy to spot.
If not I just pray to Arnold and go for it (not recommended!).

I am following this routeen since last one month. the results are amazing.
here are my two quick questions here
1. my nephew is 15 and there are some of his friends. Just want to ask is it fine and safe for them to do Fierce 5? Or shall i look for another plan for them?
2. Adding Cardio on the off days. can anybody provide me a link to the complete cardio plan? I am on the bulkier side and really want to do some cardio hardwork to burn fats.
