Thanks for the file of Madcow! The Texas method is definitely interesting. For the past 18 months or so I've been on more traditional bodybuilding bodypart splits. Simply by luck, I've been doing 5x5 of my heavy compound moves at the beginning of my workouts, and doing auxillary moves toward the end with 3x8-12. I've seen good gain, but they are definitely slowing as I come out of the "oober-noob" phase. I know to make significant gains, you need to focus on one goal i.e. building strength, building mass, losing fat, etc. But I just like doing a little auxillary/isolation work at the end to to get a good pump and further develop the muscle.
I'll keep researching some other routines, but I think I may give this a try for a month or so and see how it goes.
Thanks again!

Egh finally got 115 OHP cleanly today, took a long time, probably because I'm cutting. I noticed every time my bench goes up, I can also up my OHP. More chest in the lift than I gave it credit for.

Since you squat in both A and B , do you add the 5lbs each time ? Or just every time you do A? Cus this would increase your squat beyond the other lifts (in theory without stalls)(other lifts being DL )
Also , i know you're supposed to DL much more than squat and bench , but I'm nervous to test it out because I don't want to hurt my back or get a hernia ( just had surgery for one , healed now)

Excuse me, but,
I did 4x10 barbell row(with bar) and all the form were bad, as I was told, and you assume that I only did twice? why you don't check on my blogs?
and "my solution to getting the groove of doing a particular lift is to do less of it?" WTH ? I didn't just wrote down that I did like 10 sets of squats just to see where is my 5x5 squat weight?
and I'm trying to get the form right and the 5x5 barbell row weight, and yet again, you go on assuming
the answer for the barbell row and BigVic92, I replied that I'm in china, and in case you don't know it, china blocks youtube videos, so I cannot find answer in a video that I cannot see
and for the "DUDE" answer, oh please, I'm trying to get more information and good criticism
are you trying to be a self "important guy"?, your comment all reeks of self ego supremacy
you're just trying to get internet ego, if you don't want to help me, don't bother replying then,

I've been doing abbreviated routines for a while now (1-2 sets to failure or near failure per bodypart) so I'm not sure if I could handle 5x5 (25 total reps per bodypart) at this point. Should I start out with 3x5 or 4x5 instead, or will that decrease the efficiency of this program?

If you can do 5x5 deadlifts after 5x5 squats then you're not lifting anywhere near heavy enough. Also the lower back work is pretty key to this routine, you'll wanna keep hypers/good mornings in there.
Edit: also I dunno why you'd wanna get rid of shrugs, I phucking love shrugs, feel like the hulk with dat heavy weight

You can do any routine you want by all means go for it. Will you make better gains then then original routine? probably not Will you stall well before the original routine? hell yes. Why not do the original routine which many people have seen results on. Usually anyone who asks if their routine will work has no clue what they are doing.

Hello guys, I'm here to ask if I can do this workout twice a week. Friday/Sunday alternating between A/B per week because I'm in the army for the rest of the week and unfortunately, I do not have any gym in camp.
That's all I have to ask Thank you.

Ya I hear you not that easy getting that angle, maybe see if someone will record it for you. I just wedged my phone in a adjustable bench to do it. Also I would not worry about your depth, if you are comfortable keep doing it ATG...I have a very similar depth we are just blessed with flexibility.

Okay guys, can anyone tell me what this pain in my arm is.
Basically when I go to rack the weight on the bench press, my arm starts to get a sharp pain... and then it stays for a while. It happens every time, sometimes it's worse... But it's really preventing me from pushing through to my PB

Welp, on my fourth week and having to reset bench. Bummed because I didn't think it would happen this soon but hopefully I can plow through my weak point in a few weeks. It's more mentally frustrating than anything, tbh. I'm only at 115 lb right now but upper body has been a big weakness for me ever since doing All Pro's. I'm thinking my form might have a lot to do with why I've always found it most difficult, or I possibly started too heavy. I'm going to try to get a form video up on my next A day.

I just got back to lifting after a few years off, and had been doing a 4 day split for the past 6 months. I started Jason's 5x5 this week, but I'm thinking I should look into more of an intermediate program, like some of the recent posters have been recommended. My 1RM's for bench/squat/DL are 255/415/370 respectively.
Am I correct in my thoughts?
-
05-30-2013, 07:55 AM #9054
Just wanted to say I've lifted at various times of my life, but usually no more than 6-8 months at a time.
Recently, I started this program. Watching Jason's videos I get a sense that this guy has a lot of integrity, knowledge, and I can trust this program. Wish me luck!
My numbers 1RM:
Squat 205
Deadlift 295
Bench 160
Press 125

What kind of body transformations would you see in this routine? I am looking to get bigger in size and then tone up. Would this be a good starting point.
Also does anyone in the Surrey (London) area know a place that has a hyperextension bench??

I hit a few milestones today:
Squat 275x5
DL 365x5
MP 145x5
Weighing 172 at 6'1. I've been using this program for the last 2 months and still haven't had to reset anything besides assistance lifts. I've been maintaining my weight, or maybe a very slight bulk, and lifting 3x5 instead of 5x5 because it got too taxing on my body and was taking 2+ hours
