Yeah, it's a meme.
Some guy basically just took Stronglifts 5x5 and added a bunch of random accessories to them.

>Looking to pack on some strenght.
You're better off doing Greyskull LP

It's a meme.

Wannabe fitness guru ripped off an established programme and adding some random shit.

Became really popular on reddit for some reason, my theory is because he called it "ice cream".

Are you sure?
Tried it out at the gym just now.
Some guy on bodybuilding.com got his bench to 60 5x5 to 90 5x5 in like 3 months with ICF.

>>39391129
It's good. can take a lot of time though. I did it for like 6 months as a beginner. It's just your core lifts with a bunch of accessory work which is good. p much covers all the bases

How much did your lifts change?
I spent over 2 hours on it today because i had to learn how to do squats and cable crunches.

I love training for long periods of time.

Squat went from 55kg to 85 in a month

>>39394143
i thought it had 4 rest days for a reason

>>39394376
because Jason Bloho is a lazy piece of shit

>>39392415

Fuck the lifting for 3 days/week meme
That's why ppl on SS turn out fat
