But I think what you REALLY need to do is let go of all the "mass" hype of the program and just focus on adding pounds to the movments. Getting stronger.

got it. that's what I shall do.

pullups and chinups? yeah, what would you suggest 3x5? 4x12? what? I can barely do pullups and chinups with strict form, my upper body is really weak =/ should I just keep attempting them till I get stronger?
