the thing is, even if hes more comfortable with this the other (more effective) routines are much easier to follow. Less exercises to do, less time spent at the gym, more weight moved, and more muscles recruited. What more can you ask for? You can do a hundred leg extensions and hamstring curls, or you can do 5 sets of heavy squats and get a tenfold better workout.
And its not necessarily the 5 x 5, although thats a good option. Go read the FAQ and stickies in the S & P. But dont post there - if you thought you got flamed here, well you'll be in for a treat if you decide to post.
Also check out the conditioning sub-forum stickies. Plenty of great information that will correct your mistaken beliefs.
