Doo doo doo... new routine u_u Critique?

[bishonen]

http://www.stumptuous.com/badrow.html - second set of images is what I understand the Yates row to be. Personally I row at about an 80 degree angle, hits the entire back.

As for the 5x5 method, personally I'd do it for just about everything, making sure form was strict.

You can read the thread I've been posting to about my progress here: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=169927

Or.. do a search while you wait for Needsize to respond. There's been a ton of info posted about the 5x5 rep scheme.

Ohhh, I saw that post but I thought it said you're doing Corn's routine... Hmm... I'm confused. =P

 

[jeremys]

so you're saying the 5x5 routine wouldnt work as well for bulking?

Try the 5x5 scheme perhaps if you're worried so much about "not getting bulky."

B, can you critique for me too? And some others?

Also... needsize, I need to know, should I 5x5 this instead? I hear strength gains are quite large with 5x5.

No one can give you a definite answer, you have to decide for your self based on your goals, they posted what 5x5 is good for now you have to decide if thats what you want.

Yah, more geared towards strength, just want some size now and 5x5 sounds nice. I'm going for that. Time to alter my routine a bit.

Yeah, which is based around the 5x5 rep scheme...

Draw your own conclusions, but I weigh the same as when I started and my lift poundages have gone up pretty significantly across the board.

That's all I've got.

Really, no gain in weight, but you did get strength? That's nice... me likes. ^^

If you didn't gain weight, you didn't eat ...
