hi ,i havent heard many people hear mention needsizes 5x5 routine which was very popular on here a few years ago,the principal being 5x5 same weight ,adding weigh each week,plus two sets of 8-10 reps each bodypart.now all the 5x5 threads are 5x5 but going up in weight EACH SET!DOESNT SEEM AS EFFECTIVE AS NEEDSIZES AS IT IS JUST ANOTHER VERSION OF YOUR AVERAGE PYRAMID SETS,any thoughts?is needsizes outdated??

I know many people don't do it and have moved on to the more advanced 5x5's but I still like Needsize's. I use it. Cant say i use it exclusively, but I've had some excellent results from it. It also makes lifting easier as you don't really have to do any math!

I've never used his 5x5, however I do still incorporate his 5x5 ab work! That with some additional ab work and my stomach is killed!
