Was wondering if any of you guys used the old 5x5 routine will on cycle for something different? If so how was your gains and how did your routine look.

Liked the 5X5, but its tough on my tendons and shoulders.

Shock sets like that definitly boost on/off cycle. Its always good to shock the system for 2 Weeks and keep things changing. Pyramids...drop sets.....10 x 10.....5 x 5. Get creative and take notes so you can meadure strength and size gains. If gove by give doesnt boost ya but after you switch to heavy pyramids....that shocking change worked.
