about 4-6 weeks and then you either get injured or you get burned out.

i stayed on for about two months, i made some great gains off of it. i personally think it is one of the best routines for strength gains. just my 2 cents, good luck if you try it!

i've been doing it since 4/20. so i'll be coming up on 2 months. jph, why did u stop after two months?

evan, i just saw your workout journal....thanks for the cred..how did my variation of the 5x5 work for ya

I sticked with it for a month..and changed to high pound low reps...which is really effective for me~!
