I just started this routine on Monday its called "Bill Starr 5x5" Has any one tried it? Bill Starr 5x5 - Madcow Intermediate or Linear Version
theres a link to were I got it. Is this a good work out program as far as weight training goes? should I change anything about it maybe more reps? heres what it looks like just in case you cant get in the site. Also I would like to ask does anyone know any good E-Books on Cutting, Bulking or fatloss ?
