    workout - i found this

    I came across this workout :

    workout 1
    --------------
    StrongLifts 5x5 Workout A StrongLifts 5x5 Workout B
    Squat 5x5 Squat 5x5

    workout 2
    ------------
    Bench Press 5x5 Overhead Press 5x5
    Barbell Rows 5x5 Deadlift 1x5


    For 5 weeks it claims to do this workout and nothing else over 3 days a week to gaim muscle. Biceps n triceps are hit with these execsizes so can see what he means. Also legs are hit.

    Curious to try it. Any thoughts ?

    It's pretty similar to Starting Strength so you'll make good strength gains.
    Just have to eat enough to recover from squatting heavy 3x a week.

    I did the second version because that's the one I came across first except I did BB rows instead of inverted rows, and I dropped the assistance exercises after a while because I didn't have the energy for them. I also included power cleans in workout b.

    There are 3 versions of it. I'll post them for you

    Version 1
    Workout A
    Squat 5x5
    Bench Press 5x5
    Barbell Row 5x5
    Dips 3xF

    Workout B
    Squat 5x5
    Overhead Press 5x5
    Deadlift 1x5
    Pull-ups/Chinups 3xF

    Version 2
    Workout A
    Squat 5x5
    Bench Press 5x5
    Inverted Rows 3xF
    Push-ups 3xF
    Reverse Crunch 3x12

    Workout B
    Squat 5x5
    Overhead Press 5x5
    Deadlift 1x5
    Pull-ups/Chin-ups 3xF
    Prone Bridges 3x30sec

    Version 3
    Workout A
    Squat 5x5
    Bench Press 5x5
    Barbell Rows 5x5

    Workout B
    Squat 5x5
    Overhead Press 5x5
    Deadlift 1x5
