[the.gladiator1987]

bet you cant wait to hit 225 strict on military!

Do you have a break down of the 5x3 routine. All I can seem to find is the 5x5.

Good shit Glad! I saw a post earlier about you doing 5x5 for bench. If you want to, go for it. Then maybe if you do a 5x5 again, you could do 5x3 for bench to see how it works..just a suggestion. Are your rep maxes at week 4 or 6? I saw that EM encouraged you to do week 4 which is fine but MAKE SURE those are your rep maxes and that you'll be able to hit them on week 4. A lot of people like to overestimate what they can actually do and end up pinned at week 3. Also you came off cycle not too long ago..hopefully you already lost all that you'll lose when coming off cycle. Good luck bro!

I think ill do the 5x3 for bench as well. I think my best stregnth is around 3 reps for everything. When i did maxes for everything, the lifts that are 20-30lbs less than my max feel JUST as heavy. I just have a lot of fast twitch fibers.

Thanks man! Ill keep an updated log hope it goes as good as yours did!

but I also said aslong as he is eating properly and sleeping well! he has badass genetics and alot of fast twitch muscle which is why I said it

oso, did u invent the 5x3?

EM - I just modified Madcow's 5x5 just as he modified Bill Starr's 5x5. I also took Madcow's excel sheet and tweaked a couple of numbers. They deserve the most credit.

Well it's obvious Glad is a freak of nature lol but he is also doing a lot of cardio which may hinder his gains a little depending on how much he does. We'll see how it goes. Glad, you better be sleeping like a queen and eating like a king!

I will eat a lot (4000+ cals/300g+ protein) and sleep 8 hrs a day. I will need it.

I will eat and sleep like no other my man! Hopefully the cardio doesnt kill my gains, I dont think it wil. I just added creatine and jack3d to my supplement regiment. Also gettin on a good bulking diet.

I need to get on the jack3d boat as well. My work out today sucked. Felt dead ass tired, no motivation or drive. Was doing squats and dropped 265 off of my back by mistake. Totally fubar the bar.
