Alright guys I’m finishing up with fierce 5 novice as I’m stalling out. I was able to get a lot of major lifts into the 200s and I weigh currently 145 pounds. I’m needing to know what’s next after strength training.

For my first year I did Vikings bare bones and I could never get past 135 pounds on my back squat. Then I switched and did fierce 5 for 5 months and can now do 215 pounds on my back squat so I learned strength training comes first before bodybuilding.

With that being said on the major lifts in fierce 5 it’s 3x5 and since I pushed to where I couldn’t increase my numbers anymore do I bring the same numbers I finished on to a new program? For example if I bring 215 pounds of my back squat to Vikings bare bones where his program for back squat is 4x8. So I would have to move the weight 32 times at 215 pounds when in fierce 5 I was only doing it 15 times at that weight.

If not do I lower the weight when I switch to a program that isn’t strength training because of the added reps? Also is it now time to revisit Vikings now that I’ve got the strength or is there a plan you guys can recommend me that’s next? Preferably fully body as I love doing 3 days a week. Thank you guys
