Looks like a standard 5x5 full body routine with progressive loading. Have fun.~

Its supposed to be excellent for mass gaining and strength.
Week 7 of 12 starts exceeding my current 1 RMs and asking for x5 soooo I will see how that goes

I did it when i was starting out. Its alright for that point, but its the same over 9-12 weeks no differentiation in rep schemes etc, so i don't find it as effective as some other programs
Look forward to hearing how it goes for you

There are a lot of reviews of people making huge gains with it but I am skeptical. Like I said above, Week 7 is nothing Ive ever done before.
Once this 12 week program is over, I will take a good look at the Lilliebridge Method you sent me. Thats still saved on my laptop.

Yah i am sure you can see some gains on the program, I did the first time i used it! I am also pro trying every program. This way you will learn whats worked and doesn't for you and eventually start building your own!

I do this sometimes but only for the main muscle groups ie bench press, shoulder press, bent over row, squats, dips and arm curls.
