I've put more mass on using 5x5's than any other programs, including "hypertrophy specific" training. But, the idea of a "pure" hypertrophy program is largely an invention. Very few people can get significantly bigger naturally without getting significantly stonger. Madcow mentioned the "130 lbs freaks of nature champion powerlifter" and the point is that PROBABLY that is not you, me, or the guy standing next to you.

On the rest period do what you need. It tends to even out in the wash. If you are going for a top set of 5 I would actually advise giving it at least 3 minutes or more up to 5 but if you don't need it then whatever. In the end if you put 20 to 30 pounds on your 5RM you'll be bigger and stronger and it won't matter how you got there.

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