Others have written in to say that you couldn t get much out of the 5 x 5 program, but sets of 10-12 really worked. Some people only like to squat for 20-rep sets. Others never get into them hard enough and long enough to get much out of them, though they can reap tons of benefit from doing sets of five. Some people can t get enough of advanced work in the power rack, whereas some advanced trainees don t care much for it. Some people are terrific natural squatters but others simply have lousy leverages for squatting, but can become terrific deadlifters.
Some people like and grow on lower reps.
