5x5 questions
Hi all, ive been a member for a couple of years and i've gotten a lot of valuable info off here. Im 19, 6'2" 185 and ive been working out seriously for the last few years. I've always had a problem of going to the gym with a gameplan, but about halfway through my OCD kicks in and i start to do way too much and for way too long. I've made decent gains and im moderately happy with how i look, but i want to try a new routine. Ive read up on the 5x5 method and i think that's what im gonna try next. My questions are: is it better/more beneficial to do MWF workouts rather than a MTTHF or MTWTHF workout? Should i work out each bodypart twice a week? You do one main compound lift for 5x5 and then do maybe 1 or 2 isolation lifts for maybe 2x8-10? Sorry for the long-ass novel, but i just want to get everything right before i start the routine. I'm sure ill have more questions as i think of them. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Ive always liked 5x5 for basic compound movements. Great for size and strength IMO.
