Thanks Paul,
Yeah, I was wondering if it would be better to do all the leg work on the same day or divide it as I've been doing on the current workout plan..My form SHOULD be fine I think it's just so much stress to my lower back since I'm squatting/DLing on every workout.. and I mean I know...
Hey guys, thought to report back after a few months into the program. Have made really good gains on the big lifts and around 3-4kg of bodyweight as well. I can post the specific numbers and maybe a before and after pic later!
Anyways just wanted to add a question: I still feel like my legs...
Thanks bro, I'm gonna do this for sure. Just to make it clear, start workout B with 1-2x5 DL and replace squats with leg press? should I do leg press with 5x5 or 3-4x8 ?
Other than that thanks alot for the tips guys I will try to eat like an animal and will post back around December with some...
Thanks for all the advice guys. So I was thinking of giving 5x5 a try for about 6 months and see the results. Would this kind of program be good ?

Sounds good. I've been lifting for a few years on and off already. However this is the first time I've decided to focus on gaining muscle and leaving other sports aside. Would it still be preferable to do the 5x5 program? My bench 1RM is around 110kg / deadlift 5x5 110kg / Squat 5x5 90kg.
I usually try to do DL's right after the leg day because on WED my legs are already killing me from Monday so I would have to wait until the end of the week to do pulls.
Thanks man I'm gonna check out the 5x5 routine now never heard of it before..is there only 3 day 5x5 routines out there or...
Hey guys, I have been lifting consistently now for around 5 months. Before that I've done a lot of combat sports and some occasional lifting, but I'm really getting into it now. It would be awesome to hear what you people think of my current workout routine and give me some tips.
I am 183cm...
