5x5 routine

[2Rhodesians]

Does any use a 5x5 routine? I'm reading a few articles about the movements, splits and fundamentals of the method. Wanted to know if anyone has done it for a while and what type of results they've seen.

O used to do 5X5s for bench when I would hit a plateau. I can tell you this is the only training that would bust me through it. It seems to build pretty good size too.

Never used it. I'm worried about trying new stuff cause I don't want any gym days to be a waste. Don't mean it doesn't work.?

I used a modified 5x5 & loved it. one week 5x5 the next was 10x10.

My shoulder joints can no longer take that type of training.

i like 4x4 or 5x5 for putting on strength. usually do something along those lines for a while to gain strength then switch up when my body starts to hurt. 4x4 is my favorite for some reason, always adds strength, but seems to lead to injury.
