ok ma.. just continue to up your PRs and keep eating.. and compare improvements by the measuring tape..

pizza boy.. it's not wise to change to the dual factor so fast.. u've been training on the intermediate one for what? less than 1 year? and u give up so fast? it's not about changing programs that will miraculously help u advance and improve man.. it's all about your intensity in your training.. your diet(eat MORE!! 6 meals a day) getting enough rest(8 hours minimum pls).. did u pass all the requirements i stated above? if u don't then u better go back and review what u've been doing..

the 5x5 is more of a principle of training.. where u add weight to the bar progressively.. thus u improve in the long run.. normally u'll wear out within 10-12 weeks of heavy loading... then u'll need a normal deload and restart after 2 weeks.. and then u go from there again..

the advanced 5x5 is a method for seasoned lifters which have no way of progressing through weekly advances spanning 10+ weeks to put on a lil more weight on to the bar...

u've not been updating your log often.. so i don't know how to help u.. maybe if u could state your #s at the beginning and the end of your 5x5 and state the number of weeks u were on it.. plus can u also guarantee u've been eating enough to fuel yourself and help u progress?
