Gear and the 5X5

[wayneboard1]

OK so I am about 60% done with my first run thru of the 5X% and so far I am really loving it especially those ATF squats and BOR. I am still working on correct form for deads, It never feels right until madcows help here recently. SO, after this run through I am thinking about 1 more run and then doing a run with gear (test/EQ) WHat would I change if anything or any advice or experience with this? This routine by itself is flat out awesome and really what I needed to shock my body and get some solid strength and can't wait to keep going but gear would be a good additive down the road. ANy feedback is appreciated.

Bump this question...I am in the same boat. I have read Madcows posts on this but they are cautionary (re; loads, etc.) & I realize that wasn't the focus of 5x5 anyway.

Bionic, others, how are you loading/deloading w/gear? What cycles?

There is a topic in the TOC that addresses how you might want to synchronize your drugs and training to optimize your supplementation and avoid issues.

#3 - although still cautionary in tone give you some idea of the do's, don'ts, and things to consider. http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4633338&postcount=153

The guy's a total douche. He has an ulterior motive, but you obviously don't realize that.

I'm just surrounding myself with a shield of credibility so that when I spring my trap it catches everyone by surprise. Hint - be on the lookout for a periodized, all machine, 3 day tricept split and bicept peaking regimine. I'm even going to get a pro BBer to endorse it and sell supplements to potentiate the peaking mechanism. After that, I'll be launching my campaign to take over the world and install my own ruthless dictatorship so don't be asking for refunds on the supplements or my army will burn your house down and go Hotel Rowanda on you.
