Looks good Monsta.

Have you ever tried a 5x5 ( something like Bill Starr's) they are usually very good at helping a person increase their weights within a few months. Very good article : http://www.geocities.com/elitemadcow...Linear_5x5.htm

MONSTAFACE · 05-02-2008, 10:07 PM

ill def give it a read. i have done a few workouts using 5x5 but not often. neve rin the gym long enough to stay on any program. i def would like to get into more stuff that will make me stronger as a whole.

woul dyuo suggest it being good whil trying to drop a few pounds also?

TALO · 05-03-2008, 04:39 AM

As long as your diet is in check.

I have great results using 5x5 and I think you will to Monsta.

MONSTAFACE · 05-07-2008, 03:42 AM

aight. ill take you guys word on it. ill try to shoot for next week or the week after to start it. I have just been super busy with me moving and all. i moved closer to my job so now i can get to the gym more often if i need to. if i miss a day during the week i can make it up on the weekend. since this week has been a little crazy i may only be able to get like 2 days of lifting in. just in case that is the issue i did extar pushups last night. today i will do some legs. the hip feels ok so what i will do it go for a 3 to 5x10 instead of going all heavy. last nights workout

250 pushups

^^ the only thing with the starr 5x5 or others is that its set up for progressive load. Which only works if you can make it to the gym regularly. I've had great strength gains from it, but its something you need time and programing for.

MONSTAFACE · 05-07-2008, 06:15 AM

so if i miss a day i wouldnt be able to make it up. like if i were supposed to do a workout on monday i could just push the workouts back a day and start on tuesday?

I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"
