Heheh, just wait 'til tomorrow.

I just did my first go at it (DB bench press monday, front squats tuesday and chinups wednesday) and my whole body is sore like it hasn't been in awhile. I think I like this :p

Interesting, as most powerlifting routines tend to be.

I'd say DC was more productive than this. (haven't tried both though)

I don't understand week three.

WTF is 5-3-2 supposed to mean?

Anyway, I'm trying this on a 2-a-day, three days a week schedule for now.

One set of 5, one set of 3, one set of 2. I threw a change-up to my version though, and am doing 10 sets of 5 for each exercise (10 sets of 3 for chins and working my way up to 5)

Interesting, this is great way to isolate size and perhaps gain incredible strength and size. But I dunno, doing all that work for one body part in 45 min instead of 15 min seems pretty excessive. And... You're going to have to dedicate almost an entire hour per day doing this, then that's actually more work.

Is this workout more for strength or mass?is it advisable for a beginner to try it or just stick to the normal full body workout?

I hope I'll be able to walk in the morning. It took me 24 mins to do 5x8.
 

At this point you probably have a woman (or multiple women) chasing you around, calling you all the time, wanting to be with you. So let's talk about how to KEEP a woman interested in you once you have her. This is BIG! There is nothing worse than getting dumped by a woman that you really, really like.

I wouldn't recommend it for beginners. This kind of program is for experienced lifters who have already developed a solid (REALLY solid) strength platform.

Personally, I'd advise someone lift for at least six months before smashing themselves through a program like this.

225 for 5 means doing 5 reps of 225 (in whatever weight that may be).

You'd have to change the weights to suit your own strength.

I did this today with pull ups, feels good to go all out in one workout. I will try this for while and see how it goes.
