Hey everyone I'm new on this site
and I'm just getting into the whole body building working out regimine
Ive been working out consistnly for a year and have dropped twenty pounds. (6'0,220) however I don't have the strength
Ive done some research online, and heard the 5X5 is a good workout in terms off strength, however I'm not trying to attain to much mass, because I wanna get cut (defined) is this work out for me or no?

THanks

As a general rule, a 5x5 routines central goal is strength gains, not hypertrophy (mass). If you want to get good and strong, use one of the many variations of the 5x5, you will gain some size by default, but not like going on a hypertrophy program.

as a side note, if your trying to get "cut" a 5x5 is also a great way to try to keep your strength while in a calorie deficit.
