YA I think that should be fine just make sure your overall caloric intake is such that you will gain mass but as far as your PWO meals they look good.


Today is chest and back width. Ill post it when its done.

THanks bro? You think my macros are ok? I posted it over on the Anabolic board

Looks about right. Your about 300 over your BMR no? How much have you gained so far?

How can you get 10 reps in both sets with the same weight if you are training to failure ??

Who said anything about training to failure??

In needsize's 5x5 routine, the high rep exercises are done to failure right ?

I dont know. Im treating all monements like the 5x5 sets so I started them light as well so I had some time to gain on them too. That my be how he did it but Im not. That being said it wont be long before that ends up happening because everything will eventually get to heavy and Ill end up failing anyway. Im likeing this routine, Im getting real good gains from it so far.

no.....it's 8-10 reps, 2 sets.............Bid is right on.....increase the weight as you go......5x5 will be to failure soon enough

No.....Just checked over at s t e r o i d o l o g y.com...if its needsize's routine then the high rep sets should be to failure....

The last set of 5 should be around failure, but if you're just starting the program then it should still be fairly easy as you want to keep adding weight. The 8-10 rep sets are to failure
