df 5x5 help

[marc1]

I have completed two cycles of the dual factor 5x5 and wanted to know if I should do another cycle but this time changing the rep scheme to 3x8 to work in the higher rep range or if going to a different program such as westside or dfht would be a better idea? Has anyone done the 5x5 with different rep scheme and gotten good results?

Did your weights plateau? If your weights are still moving up and you're making just a little bit of progress each week then why switch rep ranges? I'd keep milking the program until you're forced to switch to something else. If you're a little bored of it, just change the exercises around.

I am doing the dual factor which is not linear. I know that madcow advocated changing the rep range if you have done the program a couple of times.

But I'm asking, did you stop making progress or are you just changing because somebody said you should.

no, I feel that I need to change something to continue to progress
