I know he answered the question. I just wanted to point out what I was referring to since there was confusion as to what "intermediate" program I was talking about. Espciallly on your part.

Well just about everyone that comes on here and asks about a 5x5, whether complete newbie, intermediate, or what is, 9 times out of 10, asking about the advanced program. Also you just posted a thread asking about DFHT, another advanced loading protocol, so 0311 had some grounds for his assumption you were meaning the advanced.

Most everything I said refers to ALL intermediate fullbody programs periodized in this fashion, including, but not limited to, the one you linked.

We also have all these names floaing around causing all types of confusion. I just noticed a guy the other day thinking the advanced was appropriate for beginners. We have DF 5x5, "single factor 5x5", "linear periodized 5x5", "linear intermediate 5x5", Rippletoe's 3x5, Rippletoes Starting Strength....most people don't know beginner, intermediate or advanced from Adam. We would be much better to start calling these programs beginner, intermediate, and advanced and then referring to the "popular name". That would also help people understand that all these programs are examples of beginner, intermediate, and advanced programs but not the definition of them. But until we start doing that consistently there is going to be confusion.

	EricT's Sig:I'm tired of the myth that bb'rs aren't flexible. As a group, they are extremely flexible. They have an amazing ability to bend over, place their heads between their legs, and blow smoke up their own asses. Books and Resources

	Darkhorse's Sig:My Training Philosophy how big would you be if ALL you did was: Squat 400 x 20 Deadlift 500 x 5 Bench 315 x 5, or dip with 100 lbs added. Chin with 75 lbs strapped to your waist x 5 Miltary Press 225 x 8 Pretty ****ing big is my guess. Without any "rear delt work". IA
