Bill Stars Linear Progression 5x5 Intermediate vs. Pendlay 5x5 Periodized Version
I was under the impression that all 5x5 programs involved a deloading period which is where alot of muscle is accumulated but Bill Starrs Linear Progression 5x5 http://www.geocities.com/elitemadcow1/5x5_Program/Linear_5x5.htm has no deload or intesification stage. Would I be better off doing the Bill Starr - Glenn Pendlay 5x5 Periodized Version for Advanced Lifters http://www.geocities.com/elitemadcow1/5x5_Program/Periodized_5x5.htm. ?
I would say I am an advanced lifter because I've trained hard for five years, but I have never done a full 5x5 routine before. I'm really looking forward to getting the ball rolling, just wondering what the differences, advantages, drawbacks, between the two programs are. I desperately want to gain lean muscle mass and size so I can get from 170 to 190 lbs. Thanks guys
