    Confused as ****

    Up until now, I had ripptoes program in the back of my mind as a way to build good mass and strength.

    Although this was probably more obvious to others, I didn't know it was something like 20% Mass and 80% Strength.


    I have put on about 20 pounds in around 8 months time (on and off). And I did this in local gyms that didn't have things like squat racks and bench presses.


    Anyway, just when I was thinking about getting on on 3x3-5 program, I realized it's not what I want to accomplish atm - strength > build.




    Sooo, if you have around 8 months or so of experience in lifting, which program is good for putting on mass?

    Generally reading around and tbh I made that statistic on the spot.


    But actually, I saw you link to that MAX-OT earlier in another topic and it reminded me of ripptoes.



    TriPhase looks interesting and very detailed tho.

    the guy in this video (you should watch it)

    http://vidreel.com/human/NTk0MDU0/

    used Max-OT and he obviously made huge gains, so it definitely works.

    But yeah a friend of mine who's pretty big suggested Tri-phase, it worked really well for him and has been working for me so far. It's basically a 4-day version of Max-OT from what I can see, workouts are longer but I'd rather be in the gym 4 days than 5.
