In general, how many weeks do you expect to keep advancing in the 5x3 workout once you plateau in the 5x5? I have been on the 5x3 workout for only a couple weeks since I plateaued on the 5x5, and already feel another plateau coming shortly. I am tempted to do 3x3's after this. Any suggestions?

I am not really new. I just find it easier to concentrate on the single bodypart more when I am only doing one a day. The one thing that worried me about this was the resting, like you mentioned. Worst case scenario, I could just do bi's and tri's on the same day, which would give me 2 days of rest.

I was just curious as to if you guys thought working out 6 days a week, 1 bodypart per day would have any disadvantages to it? i.e) sun- chest mon- bi's tue- tri's wed- legs thur- shoulders fri- back sat - rest

well, I have been on the program for around 8 weeks, and haven't plateaued yet, but I feel a plateau coming shortly. I'd prefer NOT to switch up the primary exercise if I don't have to, but I was just wondering about the whole CNS thing, and your body getting used to the exercises.

In the 5x5 workout, do you ever change the primary exercise(5x5)? I.e, switching from bench to incline? I usually switch the auxilliary exercises up every couple weeks.. is this ok as well?

Is it alright to switch the exercises you do for the 2x8 sets in the 5x5 workout? I have been switching them up every other week or so. Just felt weird doing the same thing every week.

quadsweeper, the diet you posted looks very easy to follow (Excluding eating chicken at 7:00 AM, lol), but it seems like this diet relys heavily on supplements, something jkurz1 pretty much flamed... any opinions?

Hi, I am 6'3", 207. I am looking to put on some quality weight, and was just wondering what you would add/subtract from my current diet. I have been doing this for about 2 weeks thus far 7:00 AM - 7 Eggs, 1 pack of oatmeal 10:00 AM - MRP Bar 12:00PM - Either footlong chicken at subway or...

Hello, I was curious as to peoples methods for losing weight while keeping(gaining) strength? Is this even possible? I have a bench contest in about 1.5 months, and wanted to lose as much weight as possible without sacrificing my strength. Your suggestions are appreciated!!

Do you think the 5x5 workout will benefit my max if I have 3 months until my roommate and I have our contest?:rolleyes:

Backlash, Thanks for the response. What exactly do you mean by speed bench? Like not resting between sets?

Hi, I was curious as to what workouts would help increase my ORM in bench and squats. Me and my roommate made a bet last month to kind of motivate both of us to get back in the gym, and in 2 months, we are measuring out ORM on bench and squat, and I am looking for a natural advantage. Any...

I was curious if anyone on here has had scar revision, and your results. I had surgery over a year ago, and am still not happy with the scar. I am thinking about revision. Thanks for your input.

its right in the middle of a pec.. i don't see how, lol

yeah.. i guess it is small... it just pisses me off that the first dermatologist seized to tell me the proper post surgery treatment.
