Bodybuilding Routines: Post Your Bodybuilding Training For Help With A New Routine

Re: Post up your bodybuilding training problems and I'll help you develop a new routi

lol...thanks.

The 5x5 can be used long term for strength training due to the deloading/periodization.



intensemuscle.com - read all the stickies in the dogg pound forum about 12 times each until you think you understand it, then read everything a couple more times.

Seriously. I've seen people read over the stickies once or twice and start doing (what they think is) DC. But they're doing it TOTALLY wrong! I have copy/pasted over 100 pages of posts from IM into a word document for reference.

I am a PRIME example of this. After doing exactly what ceo is talking about, i got my ass back to IM, created an account, introduced myself, and stayed in the puppy forum for a few days where you will see the n00b questions getting answered.

Read those stickies over and over. Every aha moment i've had has been followed by two more just like it. Don't think "you have it" and jump into war with the logbook. Take your time, pick a good selection of exercises for your first blast, get them in the right order and then re-read the stickies. Then you will probably be reworking that list lol.

Rediculus, based on your posts here and in AA i think you might be a good fit. You have to be a little crazy and THRIVE on intensity. Once you feel like you have something in place run it by ceo. He, SouthernLord, and mwm5 have been vital in providing me guidance.

Others will post up but my opinion is that the "bulk" will be a function of your diet. If you are eating 1,000 calories above maintenance i would worry but i know you are not doing that LOL.

I think i remember your goal being to add a little bit of muscle in the offseason, is that right? I would say for someone like you at your fitness level, doing DC and eating just slightly above maintenance would be a good strategy to reach your goal. At your current BF % you can just watch the scale and if you see it going up too much, drop the calories a tad. Not moving at all, up the calories a tad.

No, I'm not eating that much more. About 25g more calories then I was doing.
The scale is movung just slightly, which is good. I'm hoping to go up 10 more lbs. I know that's not a lot, but that's all I need.
Thank you!

I think you'll look fantastic with 10 more lbs. Good luck!

I am considering looking into it. The method is a little confusing just reading what I see on here. The 5x5 workout is almost identical to one I followed a loooong time ago (high school)started by a 220lb power lifter that was pushing 500plus lbs. 11 percent body fat GREAT physique and just lb for lb stupid strong and explosive which I RESPEKT with a capital F@#$ YA!

10lbs would make a big difference IMO

10lbs overall, but by the time I get cut, it will be less the 5lbs of muscles. Is that still too much?

Never said too much.

Big difference = good thing
