ICF 5x5 , is it a good program? Can I substitute 5x5 lifts with

Why are you doing a strength routine..?

>>39197541
So i can lift heavy to get big ?

>>39197587
if your goal is to get big, aka hypertrophy, why do a strength routine..?

>>39197597
Because he is a beginner obviously.

>>39197633
are you retarded?
Beginner needs to do a strength routine even less

>>39197633
Well I beem training for 2 years. But could be a lot stronger. I look pretty good but I want to focus on strength gains so I can push heavier for more

Are YOU retarded? the best thing a beginner can do is focus on strength and overloading. People like you are the reason why guys are still looking like shit and giving up 1 year in.

Trust me man I'm ignoring their posts lol. I know a lot about fitness/nutrition I was just wondering if ICF would be a decent program to get my lifts up, heard good things

>>39197663
i'd bet you look like shit.
no wonder most people on /fit/ are either fatties or skinnyfats who do nothing but strength routines

stay shitty

Because the most effective way to get progressive overload (i.e. The thing that grows muscles) is with linear progression.
The fastest way to progress linearly is with strength training.
Save higher rep work for when your threshold for adaptation is higher (i.e. Intermediate level lifter)

Go be an uneducated DYEL somewhere else

>>39197597
You are fucking stupid if you think getting stronger is not the way to get bigger

SS 6-9 months > 1-2 rounds of Madcow > texas method

There! You're good to go for the next 3-4 years.

To be fair to that retard dyel, too many /fit/izens stick to low reps as intermediate because they got such good gains with LP
But once you can move a meaningful amount of weight, you get more volume with less fatigue at 60-75% of 1rm.
That is lighter than most of us go.

This is probably the worst advice I have ever seen on /fit/ and that is saying something.
