Hi guys. I've recently started doing this routine: httpnewbie-fitness.blogspot.com/2007/01/stripped-5x5.html, and I was wondering if this was aimed at lifting heavier weights rather than looking better.
The reason I think this is because the rest times suggested are of about 5 minutes and it's always 5 reps, which is pretty low for gaining mass, which unless I'm wrong, it should be of about 6-8 reps. Also, you are supposed to lift as much as you can, and all the excercises are typical powerlifting excercises, except for the overhead press and the pull ups.
What do you guys think?
