I'm feeling more motivated than ever to get big and strong and just focus on my goals, I haven't been taking things too seriously but I will change that now cause I know I can do much better and achieve what I want.

I had a pretty good run with the 5x5 program, learned quite a bit from that program and I might even jump back on it in the future, but now its time to move on and hopefully get even better!

My stats are:
Weight: 170lbs
Height: 5'10
Age: 23

Wednesday:

10 minutes on the elliptical - the whole time I was deciding on which body part should I work out today and finally decided to do legs

Hack squat machine:

140x8
180x8x2
230x7

Leg press:

180x8
270x8
320x6x2

Calf press on the leg press machine:

270x12
270x10x2

Standing leg curl:

40x8
50x8
60x6x2

Seated leg curl:

70x8
85x8
85x6x2

I haven't sweat as much as I did today when I did the hack squat machine n leg press;

I'm not exactly sure what my rep and set range should be like..

When I made the transition to strength training instead of just muscle (size) building, I felt totally re-invigorated. I have all the respect in the world for people who want to get huge, but I have come to appreciate the pursuit of single-rep PRs. Best of luck on your new program.

It's only been a day, give it a little time. What do you feel not rite about? When I started a program it was an uneasy feeling not doing all the accessory exercises. Felt like I was going backwards

Check this out... Per PLK, one of the strongest members on this board:

"Pick 3-4 auxiliary movements to hit your weaknesses and run them for 3 weeks - adding 5-10 lbs each week. Each week trying to hit a PR ( at a rep range).

You set the main movement up so that you do a heavy single on the first week ( establish a PR)..... then you don't do that movement heavy again for 5 weeks. Do a max for reps one week, then a partial movement, then a reverse band or band from the floor, deload, and then test a max or near-max again.

So, your main movement changes every week, but your auxiliary work pyramids up, deloads, then you test a max or hit a max at a partial movement etc and start the next wave of auxiliary work.

That's how most top guys train. That's how westside trains, that's how the old Frantz gym trains ( kinda), and it works long term at all levels.

There's a lot more that could be done with it - it'd take a day to lay out the big picture - but that's enough to get a few years of training in."

Not really a program thats why I feel a bit odd cause I'm just doing random exercises beside the bench press and incline db press
