But what if the OP is using 5x5 for bodybuilding purposes. A strength phase or maybe the feel they grow better on 5x5.

A program based around 5x5 with bodybuilding assistance could be a good bodybuilding type program for many people.

Just because someone mentions 5x5 Doesn't mean its automatically in the strength section.

If the OP states that he is wanting to use the 5x5 program for bbing then of course have it in the bbing section so he can get the best advice

True

If he posts up he wants to do 5x5 with no other info then you have to think (or assume) this would be for strength considering its a strength based program.

I feel that this statement is false....since its relying on assumption that the said program was posted in the strength zone. Threads on message boards are often posted in wrong (or inappropriate) areas for lots of different areas. I've do e it myself.

Let's lock the thread.
 
thread cleaned up
removed all the whinging and bitching and off topic crap
 
Maximising volume over 80% intensity = maximising hypertrophy gains
Which is why 5x5 would work well as you're doing 30-40 reps a week over 80%
Equal to most bodybuilding splits, only difference is the high rep range will increase glycogen storage
 
I think the thread was moved, so he is essentially asking why.

Brissiejay, bodybuilding isnt really number focused where a program like 5x5 is very number focused.

I know a BB'er, who has the BIGGEST legs ive ever seen in real life, and he generally squats with 60kg, on a smith machine....
