Thanks!
I highly recommend the program, as it was one of the first weight lifting programs I started with, and it paid dividends in numerous ways.
I'm not sure what program you are following now, but if you're just getting into the numerous weight lifting programs out there, I would highly recommend looking at Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe. It is more a 3x5 program than a 5x5 program, and focuses more on form and foundation than packing on the mass like the Starr 5x5 program focuses on.
The book can be purchased on Amazon for pretty cheap. Well worth the buy.
