Default What next?

I am looking to wrap up starting strength in like another month or so and i was wondering what next. My main aim is to add another 20lbs, then go on a cut and clean bulk from there on in until i am happy. So what would the best way to go about packing on that 20lbs, sorry if this sounds like a stupid question.

Bill Starr 5 x 5 is a good progression.

Google for Madcow + 5x5

yes...but now i use this simular workout plan but i apply hitt to it....

workout one is done for the first 2 cycles= first 2 weeks

example:
Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
workout one for Chest, Shoulders, Triceps for first 2 weeks then switch to workout 2 of Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
Cycles 1-2 = workout one = weeks 1&2
then swith to workout two
Cycles 2-4 = workout two = weeks 3&4
then switch back to workout one
Cycles 5-6 = workout one = weeks 4&5
then switch back to workout two
Cycles 7-8 = workout two = weeks 6&7


same applys for Back, Biceps, Forearms & Quads, Hamstrings, Calves workout plans in the article

Each body part will be worked every 5th day...

if you want i can pm you my workout schedual

If you have the time to pm your workout schedual then please do, it would be very helpful

also i got the cycle thing, it's the amount of sets, reps, weights and stripping weights that is confusing me

Some of the best gains I've had were off a split similar to the mass workout. The shoulders, tri's, chest thing seems to work best for me...should definitely check it out. And also, if you're still seeing gains in Starting Strength- you could always just modify it a bit.

More food + just about any solid progression-based routine + time

the 24 mass blitz workout is an awesome bulking program. i put on a solid 10kg with it. i practically followed it to the t, and only changed it when i had no choice.

its pretty straight forward, but there are links in the text to direct you to another page that explains the concepts etc.
