People on the forum have spoken of this but is it as simple as it sounds? Do you do any other exercises? Or is it just as it says on the paper 3 exercises 3 days a week lift heavy...

Due to the nature of it's intensity 3 days per week is all thats required.
Haven't we been over this before?
Do it as per instructions and use the attached spreedsheet and it's an awesome program.

Yeah people went over it BUT... I figured it was more than that. i just wanted to double check.

Does anyone have the spreadsheet or a link to one in kilograms?

Kindred, you really ain't reading the instructions are you? if you had you would know that there is a downloadable spreadsheet towards the end on the instructions.

ther is its in pounds. I am looking for kgs.

1kg is 2.2lbs so just convert it yourself

To find kgs just divide pounds by .45

Compounds are good for packing on mass, I think a lot of would be lifters get caught up in people putting their 25 sets of isolation programs on the net thinking that's the way to go. Garbage. Lift heavy, add mass.

Today is the start of week 9, it a killer work out. Simple easy to understand (with the spreadsheet, converted to kilos) program that works

I'll be doing a 3 day split for 9 weeks, a week off then back to the 5x5, a week off then the 3 day split and so on.

Give it go, its awsome

Well done Mike for completing it. Not many people do, they usually give up after a week or 2. The only thing I change when I do it is I add some direct calf work sually on Saturday with some cardio. I need to other wise they lag behind my quads.
