Default Started 5x5 today!

I decided to mix things up a bit and tackle 5x5 for a few weeks. I've read Starr's fantastic info and feel at least knowledgeable enough to start with it. I started reading up on it after seeing the sticky, so thanx to 0311 for posting it.

The low-reps make it attractive because it makes me feel like I can take on more. The scaling up during the sets makes me push myself with more weight. So, I really like the plan overall. I'm spending more time in the squat rack, which is a good thing and I just *feel* better afterwards.

Great program!

Best of luck with it!

I made pretty good progress while I was doing it. Plus I just loved squatting 3 x a week!

Good Luck, Maybe you should make a journal so we can watch your progress?

Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing the results with this. Overall, I'm happy with where I'm at, but I just needed a change of pace. Plus, I like the ramping - thats not something that I've really worked with before, so it's kinda cool.

I'll keep you guys posted.

It was posted by 0311 in another thread and got me reading it and I like it.
