Gender: | This is an excellent routine. The numbers starting off may seem a little low at first but you should progress fairly rapidly. Glutamine should definitely help with your recovery and good luck on the program. Let me know how you like it. |

Gender: | Thanks! I love the program. I've done it once before (not as well as I wanted to, school got in the way) and saw great strength results and even some mass. I really like the idea of following the Dual Factor 5x5 with Dual Factor Hypertrophy Training. |

Gender: | I couldnt complete week 4 of the program because I was overly busy with school. I'm about to graduate from University and there is alot of paperwork and just end of the year shit in general. I went to the gym as much as I could (3 times) but just did a half assed workout with what I could fit into my time schedule. However I did make it to the gym today because I made a bet about a month ago. I bet a friend that I could squat 315lbs for 2 reps (Powerlifting stance) (Current max was 265x1 when bet was made) before he could run 15K (current max was 5K). So today was the deadline and when I hit 265 during the warmup, it felt extremely heavy and I had doubts of hitting my goal...But I managed to hit 315 for 5 reps! and then another set of 3 after that. Fucking great PR! My friend also finished the race so we both win the bet (I think I win more because I did 4 times the betted amount of squats haha) and we both have to buy eachother a case of beer. Which has inspired me...By this september I'm gunning for a 405 squat and a 405 deadlift (bench is a lost cause so fuck it |

Gender: | I skipped my deloading phase (isn't necessary, I can plow through to the peaking phase) Week 1 Monday: Olympic Squats: 3x3 135 Benching: (pyramid) 1x3 185 JS Rows: (pyramid) 1x3 165 Accessory (Overhead Tri Extensions) 2x10 As you can see these numbers are quite pathetic compared to my previous numbers. I don't know what happened but I got hit with a huge headache as soon as I stepped out of the locker room. I was absolutely drained, I had nothing in the tank. Nonetheless I decided to put in some effort, especially on bench since it is my weakest link in the chain. |

Gender: | Wednesday: Olympic Squats: (reduced 15-20%) 3x3 185 Standing Military Press: 3x3 115 Deadlifts: 3x3 315 RG Pulldowns: 3x3 220 Accessory (Barbell Curls) 2x10 Today was a good day. I carried over the Standing OHP because I missed it last week and I really have to watch them or its game over for my lower back. I had 295 planned for deadlifts but I managed to pull off 315 without a problem. Pulldowns were tough, but manageable. Missed Abs today since I was pressed for time. I hit a little snag in my diet the last couple days and ran into a deficit, but now I'm back to where I should be. |
