Ok man I totally believe you, you have way more experience than me and are bigger, but, I'm a little hesitant because before I was squatting, deadlifting, rowing, benching 5x5, and eating OK... and I wasn't getting ANY gains on my arms or muscle-wise. (the post about working out for a year no gains etc)
so either something was wrong seriously with my diet? I was overtraining? or maybe I wasn't working hard enough? can I do a 4x12 or 5x8 instead of 5x5?
.. I have reason to believe my body responds better to more reps, maybe I'm crazy, but, when I was putting the weight down after 5 reps I felt like "wow I want to push myself a little more"
