5x5 journey to incredible strength

[Anthony1980]

Im not going to give up, im going to try the pull ups but ill throw in the pull downs also i was thinking after every 4th or 5th week, do a couple weeks of 3x8-10's then back to the 5x5. I think you or someone else mentioned doing something like that.

I would take a Deload week every month unless you are still progressing and not feeling burnt out .. But if you want the best results like i said, don't stray far from the original program. And don't try the pull-ups, succeed at them

And think of it this way, the more strength you add, the more you can lift "x" amount of times and as long as your eating the size and muscle denseness will follow

Is this really a 3 day routine? Also, can any light cardio be incorporated? Like i said, im new at this lol trying to get rid of some belly fat as well as gaining strength and muscle mass.
