5x5 journey to incredible strength

Glad to see you are still sticking to it Anthony ! Keep up the hard work and you won't be disappointed .. 40 lb rear flys is pretty impressive

Thanks! Of course I'm sticking with it. But Monday I'm thinking about switching it up. Just to keep my body guessing. The sky is the limit! Thinking about a push, pull, legs type of routine for a few weeks? Starting with a compound to begin with of course. What do ya think?

Stick to 5x5 for 3 months. Then switch. The whole "guessing" thing isn't necessary until you're really developed. Get your base first.

Ok cool! From the beginning i was told every 3-4 weeks change it up for a week or two the go back but ill keep going.

I did add a few isolations to it though. Been working pretty good.

"Guessing" is overrated for beginners.

I have an issue, may be minor, but an issue nontheless. Seems as if my left bicep is a little smaller than my right. Is this normal? Can i just isolate each one by doing curls for each arm to maybe even them up?

It's an easy fix , just do more curls with your left. Not really a big issue though. After your done your rows grab a db and do a few sets of
Left arm bicep curls
