I see that you use the Manta Ray Squat Device. I also use it and love it!

I'd like to know if you also incorporate cardio into you 5x5 system?

5 x 5 is one of the best strength programs,... the results this bloke has got are really poor. your diet must be shit

what is your grip like on the overhead press? same as bench? so for me I put middle finger for bench, would it be the same for press?

Great form on your squats and deadlifts.. im gonna switch to a 5x5 routine pretty soon cuz I feel like im starting to plateau... 5x5 should help me push thru the plateau yes?

what brand are those red grip plates?

Do you do 1 set of each exercise 5 times or the 5 sets of the exercise then go onto the next exercise?
