Single Factor 5x5 Questions

[WannaBeBig72]

I think it was 13-14 weeks, probably 10 of which I set PRs in. The first 3-4 were just settling in weeks. The gains were fairly consistent. There was the odd failure here and there, but every lift went up by a fair amount.

Here's the progress table I drew up towards the end: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showpost.php?p=5431516&postcount=265

I can't believe that was in October and I've made no progress since (due to injury, nothing to do with the program)

Those are some awesome gains congrats man. Did you gain alot of fat?

How long do people usually do the single load program for?

I was just reading your journal. I guess you did gain a bit of fat. I guess when you're bulking it's inevitable.

I was reading some 5x5 journals and it seems like alot of people substitute chins for the Wednesday high pull. I think I'll do the same. Madcow approves of this? I know it is fairly strict in regards to what exercises to do and that you shouldn't substitute.

I believe what most people do is substitute Deadlifts for High Pulls and just add chin-ups/pull-ups in at the end.
