Is 5x5 workout best for mass?

 

The   5x5 workout  is suboptimal if your main goal is adding mass. To achieve your mass gains first and furthermost is a caloric surplus based on natural resources. Abs and bigger muscles are mainly made in the kitchen and the gym only supports the growth. Programs which are more suited to muscle gains are German Volume Training or Jim Stoppanis bodybuilding template. Both of these work in the 8 - 12 repetition range per set which is the suggested optimum for muscle gain across many experts.

Which dumbbell to get from Rogue

 

My personal favorite is the   Rogue loadable dumbbell  as it combines space savings with good design. For a big gym, you probably want to go for the   Rubber hex dumbbells, unless you want to go fancy and get a full set of the   Urethane version. If you are a strongman competitor you will find a good option in the   Thompson fatbells. The   power block  is, in my opinion, an outdated design unless you really have no space available whatsoever.

German Volume Training is performed for 10 sets for ten repetitions at 40% to 60 % of your one-repetition maximum. It is therefore considered to be a hypertrophy program aimed mainly at muscle growth.

How long to start German Volume Training

 

If you have reliable data to go by, calculate half of your one-rep max and get going. Modulate according to how you feel. If there is no body of data run Stronglifts 5x5 first for half a year and take it from there.

Powerlifting and weight loss

 

Losing weight is a result of your dietary choices first and exercise regimen second. If weight loss is the main goal go with cardio instead of   powerlifting  for best results.
