Very confused about which routine to stick with long term ??

First, Omegas guy was likely on the sauce so you shouldnt compare. Hes also likely starting from a better base than you as 10 lbs on him might look more impressive than 10 lbs on you. Lastly, pictures can misrepresent a person because proportion is so thrown off.

You seem very concerned about the PERFECT program. It doesnt exist. Lift weights, eat your ass off, and the gains will come. You gained 10 lbs on the 5x5.... that sounds pretty good, youre not going to gain overnight bro!

Thanks and after taking Muscle Milk before bed, and now the ONs Whey Protein I have even gained a few more lbs recently since taking these new shakes starting 10days ago.

I am open to Omegas training but worried the cost of it won't net the results I am looking for, or could just learn myself what to do, which is what I have been in the process of doing the last couple of weeks with all these threads I have created.

Seems to me a 4x8 routine now after doing the 5x5 all Summer will bulk me up ??

Sirdingo dont accept limiting ideas and ideals

with the right food, right training and right supplementation you can achieve what you goals are.

Thanks Omega, so you will even guide me to right foods, and even have me change away from Muscle Milk and ONs Whey, to something better you sell ?? I just don't want to go any where near steroids which makes internal parts even bulk and swell up, which I or anyone shouldn't want. I want arms and chest larger, not my liver and kidney too.

So if in my home gym in Basement I built myself, I can get the results close to that young guy in Law Enforcement from you, without really being beside me while doing so, I am open to your training for the two months price and see how it goes to start with.

In the mean time, I recently seemed to hurt an upper arm muscle over the weekend arm wrestling my older and bigger Brother, where it hurts like a b!tch. I feel a slight stinging pain up and down the whole right arm, starting at top of shoulder down to fingers almost, and lifting single dumbbells is not even possible with right arm, can't even hold it up, where left arm can bust art 50 curls like nothing. Need to heel the arm for a bit ??

I will recommend key things yes most of which I DONT sell

You arms and chest can get huge without gear

I have armed wrestled too , it should take 3-5 day to get better if its just a strain. In the mean time dont do Any direct ARM work. If the area gets inflamed or hurts after a week go see a Doctor.

Take some time off.... do some cardio or leg work.... if not you will keep aggravating your elbow/shoulder pain.

He didn't do Macdow's 5x5 or anything like it. He just did some lifts with 5 sets of 5 reps. If you look at his plan, he did each lift only once a week, probably because some moron told him you can't recover in less than a week or some shit. That's part of his problem. If he had done Starr's 5x5 and actually understood it, he wouldn't be asking questions about hitting plateaus either. Bottom line, if you aren't squatting 3x a week, you can't call it Bill Starr's/Macdow's 5x5. Sometimes I'm sure this guy is just trolling because he seems incapable of listening or understanding anything beyond a rep range.

true!!!

I haven't bothered to read the thread and I'm only answering the thread title.

Don't stick with any routine long term. Principles of progression can be taken with you as you progress through your training from phase to phase but any routine, no matter how productive or popular will only serve your needs for so long before change is required to further your gains.
