Re: Bill Starr's 5 x 5 program... Variation per Madcow2 (thanx) So here it is! K up n
Just wondering if anyone has ever seen this routine? Just about to start matt reynolds animal mass version which I have done a few times with great success, but stumbled upon this by accident.
Anyone have any ideas on it relating to the animal mass version and standArd madcow?
I was looking at subbing the higher reps for 5x5, so 3/5 then straight 5/5. and de loading etc in the same way as the above stated workouts. just as a change from animal mass.
