Excerpt: Content by Madcow2 Last Revised 1/11/2006 UPDATE - I have updated program descriptions, template downloads, and an updated Table of Contents on my Geocities site (i.e. lots more topics and better organization).

and also, heres the 5x5 spreadsheet calc, and if you want to keep and devote some of your time in this program, you MUST read the whole thread, my friend.
the site to the 5x5 intermediate calculator seemed to have went down.. Does anyone else have a copy of this calculator?
i have the 5x5 intermediate and advanced file. PM me if you want a copy of the file or tell me how to post an excel file. Right now i'm getting and invalid file upload error on the site.
Hello,
it's my first contact with that 5x5 scheme.
I'm a litte bit confused.
Can i combine deload weeks ( maybe every fourth week) with the Linear Version for Intermediate Lifters?

yes, prob off your 3. dont kid yourself on your first session. Ive made that mistake. Getting to pr's too fast and not progressing pass
this should be 'sticky', just sayin'...
This used to be a sticky. I think some of the links were broken, but most in the first post seem to be OK. I know madcow's geocities site has been down for a while now.

GVT would be more geared for size and the info in here is more geared for strength, though diet is more or less a major factor in each...
got it...
