Question on training

[jaa20]

Should I work out 3 or 4 days a week if I'm trying to bulk?

 

[jaa20]

Because I usually try and workout 4 to 4 days a week

eat eat eat and workout.. I workout 6X per week. 1 hour per day. and I do light cardio 2X per week.. if you really want to bulk then cut out the cardio for now

Strong lifts 5x5 , Google it and enjoy!

 

[jaa20]

the 5x5 workout doesn't seem like it would work

 

[jaa20]

or what about the 5/3/1 workout program?

The SL 5x5 is one of the very finest programs out there bro. Just take a look in the journals section if you wanna see the kind of results that you can have from it. If you wanna bulk then you cant go wrong with the SL 5x5. The proof is right here on EF!

so all i would have to do is squat, bench, bent over rows, and deadliest pretty much

 

[zedhed]

Yep
Workout A
Squat
Bench
Bent Over Row

Workout B
Squat
OHP
Dead Lift 1x5

All with barbells no machines or dbls.
Add 5 Lbs to every lift every workout.
EAT!
After 12 weeks you will look back and be amazed with your badass self bro.
5 sets of 5 reps.
Plain, simple and brutally effective.

the 5x5 workout doesn't seem like it would work

I did 2 5x5 runs back to back with a 2 week break in between.
3-4 months prior to that i practiced the 5 big lifts to get form right so lets call it an even year all together.
started 160lbs , 8% bf
Finished 198lbs 18% bf
Been cutting for a few months now and down to 188 and about 13-14% bf.
You have got to eat to gain so a bf increase is unavoidable but the strength and the mass are well worth it.
I went back to chest /back/legs/cardio/core until i get the bf a lil lower but i cant wait to get back to 5x5!
I love it!
