Got it. Yeah, I'd like to have kept getting the gains that I was making. But now I really need to focus on diet and losing about 15 pounds of fat. Plus, training for core stability and speed sound like fun.

You misunderstood me. It sucks that you program isn't still providing gains, not that your program sucks. Originally Posted by DOMS
It didn't suck. The program worked for me for 7 weeks. I put 20 pounds on both my Bench and my Squat. I also have a noticeable increase in chest & leg size. Even my glutes look better.
Hell, initially I didn't think that I'd make it through week 4, but I made it to day 1 or week 7. So I surpassed my goal, too.
This program is great! I recommend it to any beginner or intermediate weight trainer.“I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too.”

So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

Possibly. I did feel bored. Originally Posted by Brutus_G

I want to work on my core stability and my agility. I have a thread fishing for ideas in the Training forum. I'm also working on my flexibility. Originally Posted by fufu

I'm sure those T-nation "exercises you've never done" articles will come in handy. You should try renegade rows, one of my favorite exercises for core strength. That is if you have dumb bells.

Yep, I'm going to do a routine that focuses on strength and core stabilty. I'm going to start a new journal for it. Originally Posted by Double D

I figured that I close with some praise.
First, some praise for the Madcow variant of Bill Starr's 5x5 program. For a n00b like me, this very structured routine was gold. No program I've done so far has presented such a clear challenge. The defined goals for each workout crated many short-term goals that really pushed me to achieve.
The end result is that I've put more muscle on my body and weight on the bar than with any other program I've done.
I should note that I still don't think it's a routine suited to the advanced lifter. I think that at that level you're too close to your potential to add 2.5% on your weights week after week. But it's great for the beginner or intermediate lifter.
Lastly, and more importantly, I want to thank all the great people that dropped in and extolled me to new personal heights in body building. It may just be words to most people, but to me it was a few more pounds on the bar.
Thanks very much for your support!So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
