Found you through Massive Iron, you remind me of a leaner Stallone.

Massive iron is not the only diamond in the rough! This video answered a lot of my beginner questions and since I've finally got all the proper equipment, I feel much more confident about using this strength program. This was priceless, thank you very much and thank you for collaborating with Steve. It's paramount for viewers like me to help sift through the pretenders.

I came here from massive iron. Hope to see more great work from you Faz. Thanks ☺️

Longer torso and shorter legs is me, I am taller than most people when seated next to them but smaller standing :( and my deadlift and squat are around the same.

Good idea to be referenced by the massive iron channel! Hope you grow your channel. Keep the good content

Doing GSLP as a 4 day has dealt with the imbalance issues that you mentioned.

This is interesting, I have been finding now I've caught back up to my pr's after a layoff that 5 heavy sets on squats is pretty taxing... 3 sets makes more sense and will speed up the workout significantly too. The last 2 sets take aaages for me - 2:30-4 minute rest needed by then

So, when do you ever lift heavy on the competition lifts? What's the progression look like?

Thanks Faz!

How do you progress the 3x5 week to week do you up the weight or reps to 3x8 overtime what you would recommend?

@codybrock6206 5 years ago

Faz, love the looks of your modifications to Stronglifts! For someone who is interested in general strength, and not powerlifting, what do you think of weighted dips?

@griskykunnn1005 5 years ago

would you recommend this set up to intermediate lifters or after someone pretty much milked all the linear gains of 5x5? I always thought 5x5 lacked volume and I pretty much ended 5x5 year ago after not gaining anymore strength despite not hitting the general strength standard of intermediate
