WTF is this 5x5 routine that is so popular ?

[VictorBR]

I never really looked into it ...Is this something that you do 5 reps per SET !!??? and 5 sets ?

Is that it ??

Are you people doing this trying to gain strenght ? powerlifters ?

Because if you are bodybuilders trying to INCREASE your MUSCLE SIZE , you should be doing between 8-12 reps ALWAYS . Jay cutler and most of the pros stay on the 8-10 rep range ALWAYS .

end rant .

i prefer higher reps for tri's, calves, and quads 15rep range usually. but changin rep range along with the routine is necessary for continued progress. so your statement is way off

I wonder if Victor personally knows all of these pros, or if he's just basing that bogus statement off of what he read in the most recent issue of Flex.

Of course he knows all of them. How else would he get so wise.

Bro, I think you need to rethink your post a little bit. Everyone is different. I respond best in the 6-8 rep range.
