What do you think of my program and diet? - Page 2

To echo others, I stalled fast on 5x5 once I got started with lifting. I think something like Texas method, Madcow, Westside etc. would yield better results. OR you could just do CF Football and not worry about this programming madness.

what's your point? so it added 5lbs a week to your bench and less than 10lbs a week to your squat? any good program would have done the same or better, especially considering that your starting numbers were so low.

however, congrats on your progress. your initial post was made 8 months ago and 8 weeks is only 2 months? so what have you done since then? what are you numbers now?

Thomas Mitchell · 08-16-2013, 07:09 PM

yeah I had just forgot about this post my numbers are

squat 160kg
Fsquat 130kg
bench 135kg
C&J 120kg
snatch 90kg
press 80kg
deadlift 210kg

not all programs would of given what 5x5 gave me in such a short period especially not the wendler 531

i just do wendler isnt heavy at all 5x5 is hard work i just know it

"wendler isnt heavy at all"--is this a serious post?

Jim Wendler and anyone who's done his program would disagree with you, seeing how it has you working up to 5+, 3+, or 1+ sets on every lifting day. The 3+ and 1+ sets in particular are at a much higher % of your 1RM than a 5x5 set would be.
