Hello, I am new to the forums but not to the site. I have been reading the daily articles for almost a year now. What I am looking for is a program that will allow me to add power a mass. I am not to interested in how good I look, I would just like to find a program to help me get big.

I have searched through the training articles many times before and they are helpful, the only problem is that there is so many to choose from. 5/3/1 looks very good, but I am still unsure so I decided I should join the forums and ask.

Thanks.

I’m assuming that while you’ve been reading this website, you’ve been lifting.

What’s worked for you before?

Before, I would focus on each muscle group on a different day. I wouldn’t really use %'s or anything. Now I am starting to get more into numbers. What I would do is take a lift such as deadlift, warm up and then do 5 sets. Everytime increasing the weight more and more until failure. I figure I should get a more structured approach

please post pictures of your private parts (all of them) and current lifting routine

Pictures of private parts should be PMed to HolyMac directly. Lifting routine can be posted in this forum.

I hear you on being more scientific about increasing your numbers. Wendlers is a great program. Rippetoes/Stronglifts are also really great programs. WSFSB has helped a lot of guys tack on pounds to their PR’s. So long as you’re using a log and checking your maxes every once in a while you’ll make progress. I personally vote for Rippetoes, because I’ve used it with great success. That’s just me though, I’m sure you’ll get plenty of other opinions.
