Some people may get mad for asking such a simple question but, what do i do after i complete the 5's following the 2 week blocks routine? It's going to be hard for me to do negative b/c i don't have a traning buddy. So do i just repeat what i did for the 5's or change the weights, how does that...

so what youre saying is on the last reps of each exercise, do 15-20 reps instead of the 5? im a noob, and all these customizing thing is confusing me.

I missed my friday workout this week because i had to work late and stayed up later on top of that. Today's Sunday, but should i do friday's workout today? and go with the regular schedule on monday? or forget the friday and just continue on with monday's workout? I'm on my 1st week of 5's.

In the first three weeks, i gainged 1 cm around my arms, 2-3cm around my chest. But my weight is staying the same. So what's happening?

i'll be on my 5's this upcomin monday, and i was wondering of your failiure workout days, do you do only one set to failiure or do 3 sets til failiure for 5's?

the reason i'm not sure is probobly becuas i'm taking this no2 supplement called white blood,multi,fishoil,and whey, so i think my recovery time is fast. maybe but i just got done with 15's and i'll take measurements and i'm rreadddy for 10's.

that's the thing, im able to finish 15reps but don't feel the lactaic acid at all.

i just did my 5th workout for 15's and did not feel sore at all but was tired after the workout. I did 2 sets of each exercise. i did thw 2nd set unitll i felt failiure coming near or to 15 reps. with the weight i'm doing, if do them slow, i won't make 15 reps and if i do it so i reach 15 reps i...

i SD for 16 days and am already on my fourth workout and yet to be sore. Am i seariously doing something wrong? too light of a weight? but usually, on my 13th or my 14th rep, i feel like i'm getting close to failiure.am i not going to get results?

what rubber plates? how do you use them? i'm used to my school gym where there were no facny equipment but the 24hour gym has all sorts of 21st century contraptions and are confusing as heck! Even the squat rack doesn't look like one.

here's my plan for the 15's squat: 120,130,140,150,160,170 Bench: 80, 85,90,90,105,110 SLDL: 70,70,80,80,95,95 db Mil: 20,20,25,25,30 lat:60,60,75,75,90,105 calf: 20,20,30,30,35,37.5 tricept:20,20,30,30,35,40 bicep:10,10,12.5,12.5,15,32 good or no?

I have been lifting about a year and have been lifting pretty hard unitll 2 month ago when school ended and got lazy. still think i'll get good results? i'm 18 by the way. 6'ft and 185lbs.

the lat machine at my gym goes up by 15lbs increment. but it goes 50,60,75,90,105. So i should do like 60,60,75,75,90,105? is that okay? For preacher curls, the bar is my max, so should i use two dumbells like 10lbs one? Since my maxes are so low, i guess i'll have to zig zagg. And thanks for...

After reading through all the suggestions you guys gave me, i'm still confused as heck! I tried using OGs method of 70% but the increments came out to be about 5lbs. And according to Bryan small increments will not produce hypertrophy. heeeeelp

i forgot i also do tricept extension.

unfortunately, jv is right. i have lifted for about a year, so i won't get as big of a gain as you. but i have one more question for you guys. in what order should i perform my excerises? here are my excersises. Here's my maxes Squat Sldl Bench Press DB Military Press Lat Pulldowns Preacher...

So using OG's method, if use squat for example, i take 70% of 170 which is 119 so I round to 120 and my increments would be 10lbs so that i reach 170 on my 6th workout right? So i just do this for every exercise and i should be fine right?

Thanks for all the great replies. This forum is unlike any other bodybuilding site where people post bs ansewers and are rude. You guys r a great bunch.

Starting out with 5lbs dumbells does seem too light. Has anyone done the (20,20,25,25,30,30) and got results? which one should i do? i'm so new to this that i can't decide on my own.

Here's my maxes Squat:170lbsx15, 190x10, 215x5 Sldl: 95lbsx15, 110x10, 125x5 Bench Press:110lbsx15, 125x10, 145x5 DB Military Press:30lbsx15, 37.5x10, 40x5 Lat Pulldowns:105lbsx15, 120x10, 150x5 Preacher curls: 32lbsx15, 42x10, 47x5 DB Calf raises: left 37.5lbs right 37.5lbs x15, 45x10, 75x5...
