Hey yall, I started week 2 of the single factor and it went OK today. Though there are several factors that have kind of worked togrther to stall me. One, I switched over to midnight-8 at the prison, so sleep has been hosed! Ive gotten about 6-7 hours a night for a week now. Two, along with the...

Butters, thanks for the tip on rows, your right. I messed up the scheme on day3, still thinking in the d.f. mindset I guess. Now that you mention it I do remember that about rowing what you bench to prevent imbalance. It is to keep the "pullers" (posteriors) as strong as the "pushers"...

Hey, hey yall. Well today I concluded week 1 of the single factor. The workout went pretty well. Here it was: WEEK1 DAY3: SQUAT:135X5, 145X5, 155X5, 165X5, 180X3(PR), 155X8 BENCH: 135X5, 140X5, 145X5, 150X5, 160X3(PR), 145X6 ROWS: 90X5, 95X5, 100X5, 110X5...

Hey yall, well after extensively asking all the guys on this 5x5, I decided to make the switch to single factor to avoid the neccesity of a deload phase since my gains are going pretty much along as planned, and hoped for. I did the first day of the single factor today after the weekend off...

What happens to a muscle if you work it everyday depends on how hard you work it. If you really get in there and do some microtrauma every day it will tear down and down without building back up. If you work it moderately, without tearing it down, then it will just get more and more conditioned...

Hey there, bubba, on the question about a flower: I have never seen anyone that didnt like a little consideration shown to them. Its not like your giving her a diamond ring or somethin. What I do though, which you may consider, is picking flowers myself. First off some girls dont like roses...

Hey, yall, I know I kindof am late catching this thread but I feel like I just gotta reply to this one. For 18 months I trained my ass off. # way split,3 on 1 off, every single set to failure, 15 sets per body part, the whole works guys. A classic Arnold, super high volume approach based...

Hey fellas, well today really should have been day 2 of my weekend, but with the job change I had to either skip a w/o or slip an extra in to keep my program coinciding with my new days off. So, being an addict, I of course tried to "sneak" in the xtra w/o. In hindsight, probably not a real...

Hey yall, Its me again with the latest of this here 5x5. This is the end of week 4, and Ive been asking around, and the concensus is that as long as the gains continue and I dont have sighns of overtraining, I can draw out the volume phase. Then when the gains stop, or it gets too much, to...

BiggT, thanks for all the great input bro, I really appreciate it. I am trying to gain some size and strength, but for some reason, I have this phobia that if I shoot up my calories im just gonna pack on bodyfat, which I dont want to do. I think Ill go ahead and just keep going and milk what Im...

Hey,Butter, thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. Im trying to up my calories but every time I do I seem to spend most of my time feeling pretty bloated and I carry about 5 extra pounds. I know its not anything all that productive though and my bodyfat readings dont change I just carry more...

Anotherbutter, hey man, nice to see you here, your log is one of the factors that went into my trying out this 5x5. How is it going? good I hope. Ive been following the dual factor program up to now, but Im really thinking of switching over to the single factor instead of going into deload...
