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?

The only reason I know this is that UW-L happens to be my alma mater. The university has one of the oldest exercise physiology programs in the nation, so when I was learning how to lift, I had the benefit of learning from scientists who had made careers out of researching the finer points of form and technique. It was invaluable for my progression.
The video collection is a trove of useful information. I hope this continues to be helpful for up-and-coming lifters.
Doing bench 2x a week is fine. If you really are on a plateau then make sure you start the program with light weight. Make sure your 5RM is not till week 4.
