I am hoping to start Bill Star 5x5 this week and was hoping someone who has either done this routine or just knows about it could answer some questions.
>on Mondays what sort of weight should I be lifting on the first 4 sets? I know I have to work up to my 5RM on the fith so are the first 4 warm up, say 40% of 5RM or are they working sets, day 70% of 5RM?
>Should I be doing assistant excersizes to failure or will that be to much?

Shameless self bump

Its the same as madcow. Its shit for bench. For the first 4 ramping sets, try to keep the intensity not too high. Otherwise you'd tire yourself and unable to hit new 3rm on friday

I recommend you to try greg nuckols 28 free programs. Its superior imo especially because your bench can actually progress

Nuckols might have worlds worst bench.

I really wanted to stick to one of the intermediate routines in the sticky. Which would people recommend for best gains and a well rounded body.

There are fucking 28 programs there. Which among the 28 do you try, anon?
The DUP 3x a week allows week to week strength gains better than texas method and madcow.

You aint getting stronger with 2x a week bench, nigga. At least find one with 3x a week bench
