Yeah DSSG, I am sticking with 5x5 because it’s what I used for almost 1.5 years of my training and gave me great results in terms of strength. I ran one Coan cycle which was 3 months,and ended with a 310x1 paused bench,400+squat,and 465+deadlift on it with room in the tank for at least 10 pounds on each. It was cool and all,but I got sick near the end because for some reason I get sick training more than 3 days a week. As for the bodybuilding split, I thought about it, but decided I don’t want to jump around. I always did well with 5x5, so why fix something that isn’t broken? I don’t feel I’m ready for bodybuilding anyways(personally). I want a 315x10 Incline Bench;315x10 Front Squat;and other heavy lifts for reps before I make that change.
Also, It’s the weirdest thing…anytime I try to go to the gym 4-6 days a week,I get sick. Has always baffled me because I can have 3 brutal hard sessions 3 days a week where my whole body get’s trained over the course of ~3 hours and I’m fine…never get sick. But I will do 4 training days,1 hour each,only 1-2 bodypart each time(like Coan’s) and I constantly get sick.
I’m positive I have some kind of suppressed immune system,and the more I go to the gym,the more suppressed it becomes on consecutive days,even if the workout is less intense,and thus it makes me more susceptible to getting ill. =/
