I ate more, lifted heavy and lost weight...got stronger too. The science is walking around in my house...me
You can, if you're not bored...but if you switch, make sure it's written by someone who knows what they are talking about.
Everyone's top numbers are different, but the goals should always be higherMy Log - https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=170367151&page=78

Gain 2 pounds a month, hitting macro targets of a MINIMUM of .7 grams of protein per pound of body weight and .4 grams of fat per pound of body weight. Fill in the remaining as suits your taste. Follow the Fierce 5 routine and progression/deload EXACTLY as written. Good luck. You can do this.
(And ignore everything Dazzling writes. He's "red" in reputation for a reason.)

Your work sets SHOULD be 3 sets of 5 reps
If you follow the reset protocol, there is no particular weight to reach...when you can not add anymore weight after resets, then you have stalled. Once you've reached the stall part of your workout, then it's time to move to a different level of program.
There is also de-loading as well....My Log - https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=170367151&page=78

That is the most important =)
With these novice programs, they prepare you for this hobby/sport by getting you stronger. Everything you do inside/outside the gym is with the end goal of safely progressing on lifts (getting stronger). Your diet, your sleep, your form, etc - all work in concert to increase your lifts every week. By not increasing the weights week-over-week - you kind of missed a major point of the program.
Obviously doing something is better than nothing, but damn.
Not to make you feel worse - I'm just surprised you missed that point. It's like taking a speed-reading course, but you're not working on getting faster at reading......??Last edited by daudi81; 11-14-2018 at 02:42 PM.
8/1/17 - 145-150lb. Skinny SOB. Start of Fierce 5 Novice and lifting journey.
5/1/18 - 180lb. Start of Cut. Plan to end around 165-170lb.
Let's go!

You want to look better but dont care about strength? You realize that you build muscle by getting stronger right? And if you do the program right you will stall eventually. Keep adding weight until you get to that point and then switch programs. Sounds like you are wasting a lot of time in the gym to be honest.

Ayee some fierce 5 questions: my gym only has a ”prone leg curl” machine, is that the same as leg curl/is it ok to use that one? and the lat pulldown, tricep pressdowns etc how much weight should you add if every step on the machine is like 10kg or something random, and the program tells me to add 2.5kg, do i increanse the sets or what? Feels bad was just at the gym and I didn’t have time to finish my deadlift set because my bus arrived so I only had time for 1 set, now how am I gonna increase the weight again next week lol
