In order to add muscle you are going to have to gain weight. Just make sure its no more than 1-lbs per week and most of that should be muscle. In order to see size gain you will ahve to eat.

You should take some before pics and pics in a few weeks time, it is hard to notice any size gains as you see yourself every day in the mirror.

Lol i think i am doing something wrong because i gained like 2-3 lbs in the last 5 days. I tried to eat as much as i could but i will have to slow that down because i still want to keep my 6 pack. lol. I could barely gain 1 lbs in 2 weeks when i was playing basketball almost every day.

A lot of it is probably water, but if you stopped the activity and kept eating the same you will gain weight.

It is as simple s calories burned vs calories eaten.

Some will be, it is pretty much impossible to put on only muscle.

Yeah this is what gets to me sometimes but then I think of what I'd look like when I'm squatting 140kg and bench 110kg.. a bad ass mofo no matter how much fat I've got

This is how the 5 x 5 works, the sets of 3 on Friday get you ready for the set of 5 on monday. It is all about programing.

I've been thinking about going to failure on Friday for the 3 and 8 rep sets.

Sense there's a 2 day break coming after that and it's supposed to be preperation why not go all out?

Is this alright to do?

You can do what ever you want, cable cross overs, seated curls, drop sets, 30 different sets for bies and tries.

But if you want the best results for this program do it AS IS! DON'T FUCK WITH THE PROGRAM. There is no need to go to failure for anything.

I don't think going to failure for a total of 6 sets per week is nearly as ridiculous as 60 sets for arms.
One Monday on my last set for bench I only got 4 reps instead of 5. That same Friday I added 5 pounds and again got 4 reps.

Just saying if 4+ reps is possible on Friday it might be a good idea as the transition will be a lot easier than going from 3 reps on Friday to 5 reps on Monday as written.


Still, I'll save the experimenting and tweaking for next time around.

Hello guys, I'm new but I have a few questions... is this program good for someone who's just starting to work out (the intermediate version)?

and also, does this routine hit every part of the body? cause I don't see anything for legs in it

Squats 3x a week.
