Over the past 5 weeks, I have been using the following program. With the 5x5 sets, I find my 5 rep max then ramp up the sets using 12.5% increase in weight each set. If I get every rep on every set, I increase 5 pounds next week. So far I have made great progress using this program. I need to get stronger but I also want to get bigger (my diet consists of over 4000 good calories). Would this program get me bigger? I know lower then 6 reps is usually for strength but I have also 3x10 in there to?
