Well I'm assuming were not talking about jumping out of bed and doing a couple pullups/pushups to greet the day. However I don't think we disagree except for the idea that a person should do what they like if they are able to factor in a whole lot of variables that no formulae exist for, and imho, still lead to the very things I spoke of. The only thing that will change is the time frame and your perception of what you get out of the program. If a persons workload capacity, and recovery ability is so great, then they should choose a more advanced 5x5, not turn the one they are doing into a goat rope.

One has to be cautious about how much arm work they put in let alone throwing in more "basic" compound movements. I know I don't have a diplamatic bent on these things but that is because I have seen that what people "want" to do is what generally screws them up. Bottom line is, to me, notwithstanding things like calve or forearm work if a person deems necessary, in terms of the basic goals of the program, anything that doesn't directly contribute or can hinder in any way the progression, it has no place on the program. People second guess, over analyse, let their egos take over, and confuse what they want to do with what they should do. Don't.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
