Linear or BBGB?

[anabolix250]

I have had a look at the baby got back way of setting up a program and like the mix of heavy low reps plus slightly higher rep accessory work.

Out of a 4 day split like BBGB and a linear progress 3 day split like 5x5 which would forum members here recommend. Im guessing it will depend on goals and experience?

Cheers!

There ya' go!

I tend to oscillate amonst a few splits; BGB is one of my "bread and butter" splits I come back to again and again. I wrote it for myself - borrowing from the best people I had read at the time (Ian King, Christian Thibaudeau, Charles Poliquin to name a few). But I could hardly feel slighted if you chose to start with Rippetoe!

To me it doesn't really matter. If you work hard you'll make progress within either program.
