I did that program for about 2-3 months a couple years ago. Great strength/muscle building program. I think at the end my deads were up to about 350...if I tried that now, I'd probably drop a nut...

About 7 weeks in and I am really starting to see gains now.  Started from never having lifted.

Curious, why did you stop the program?  Are you finding more success with something else?  I am gathering info so I can plan what I'll do after I finish 5x5, they have some add-on programs called 3x5, etc.

It's a great muscle building program, but if you want to focus on specific areas, it falls flat. As a beginner, stick with it for a while, and once you get closer to the size/strength that you're looking for, then you can change your routine to focus on more specific muscles. It really covers all of the important lifts, and even if you eventually move onto another workout schedule, you'll still be utilizing them.

You may notice that after you get closer to your goal, maybe your chest, back, shoulders, triceps or some other area isn't where it needs to be...that's the time to change the program.

Good thoughts, thanks.  Thinking I will stick with it until I am no longer able to add weight, then I will start to mix things up.

Is that your 1 rep max, or is that for reps?

Your wife came here in a Nor'easter?  Maybe she can take some rain back with her to SoCal.

Ha, I had a big squat day Monday and yesterday was my most sore day. Looked like a weirdo getting in and out of my car.

Back today.

Depending on how I'm feeling, I may try to 1 rep up my whole olympic set (300 lbs) on the deadlift.

It will determine if I need to buy more weight soon. Mwahahahaha

(May end up in hospital)

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
