I have now tried every fixed format routine I could find and while I really loved WSBB I just wasn't getting the proportionate size I wanted and was eating way too much because of the whole PL mentality. I have done needsize's 5x5 with great success, inear 5x5, DC style, and one of Iron Addicts programs. Basically they all work pretty well some more than others, but I get bored with them. The one I liked the least so far is the linear 5x5. I like to be able to go into the gym with a plan in mind but nothing set in stone. If I feel like doing dips I wanna do some dips, overhead press I wanna overhead press etc. I think I am going to go back to what used to work when I was younger and didn't know about all these routines which is a basic 10-8-6 type setup with 3 to 4 excercises per workout and split them up throughout the week.
I was just wondering if anyone is doing this kind of routine anymore since all I see are these fixed format routines in the stickies. The funny thing to me is that in real life the guys I know who are the biggest and make the best progress are usually doing a more typical volume based routine.
