Get Shredded!
Hey all, recently started lifting for mass/strength gain. I know there’s many articles I can read but just wanted to hear from you guys your thoughts on a 5x5 program vs something Else for packing on size and strength. Thanks in advance (the user name is a joke, I know this is a AAS forum)
 
I use it and modified versions of it . Maxs log under log section. Basically, I used it as a beginner , and up until now even. You can judge if it works for you.

I started w Bill Starr and Mad Cow , then Max Cyborg versions
 
5x5, 5x3, 3x3 Is what I've used in the past for big strength and mass gains. I've not done it in a long time I'll probably change it up soon been doing 5x8-12 pyramid for all workouts.

Lmao! That would suck! I am sure one day I will go clean head! I like the look as long as I have a good tan on the scalp. I had a buzz cut once and everyone though I was a skinhead! Lol.
I’m watching out for any Apache/Blackfoot/Cherokee’s Now!!

I do 10x10 on legs every once in a while...omg , sooo sore. I would like to try that : just for four weeks , one muscle group 7 days a week . Sounds super hard but, I will try it someday. I have done super high volume and love it. I am the type of person who likes to try almost any sorta program for 4-8 weeks. Seems almost any program will work if you do it with full intensity and follow exact directions given to you by trainer/online/or printed from a book. As long as you know a lot about nutrition/Supps/training.

Gh/high test would definitely be used if I did it. I almost cannot imagine how hard it would be, but I can!

During pandemic , before I got my studio room set up, I got into bands a lot! Love em. I like the Odoland brand. I am pretty rough on em, not one has broken yet. (I keep them indoors)

I will, lol. Yeah, the bands allow for all types of modifications, I use them with my 85+lbs dumbbells to make them heavier on the adjustable bench. You rows sound perfect to hit that long ass lat!
