I switched bench press and barbell back squats from Stronglifts 5x5 to Madcow 5x5. It's pretty much the same workout but with ramping sets of 5x5 instead of constant sets of 5x5. This should be less work, but allow for a much higher final set. I need to lose weight / fat and really it should be my priority, but I just can't seem to get it going? It's frustrating, but I know it's me, my diet and lack of committment that's f'ing it up. Being "Husky" is great but for once I'd like to be ripped again...
