| As a general rule, a 5x5 routines central goal is strength gains, not hypertrophy (mass). If you want to get good and strong, use one of the many variations of the 5x5, you will gain some size by default, but not like going on a hypertrophy program. as a side note, if your trying to get "cut" a 5x5 is also a great way to try to keep your strength while in a calorie deficit. |
