frick no. Stick to 10-12. Sometimes 15. Keep your rest short 30-45sec. Change up the way you perform a rep (i.e. do negative reps on a 3 count). Take your sets to failure.
Profit
All of those blimpy fat muscle dudes who think they are ripped are going to live by the 5x5 though
This is so wrong. Unless you are a professional, keep your reps low, in the 5-8 range.
Keep your rests at 30secs or less, except for the biggest lifts(bench, squats and deadlifts).
Do drop sets and supersets for your isolation exercises, and keep the rest extremely short.
Do 2-3 HIIT cardio session a week.

If I'm looking to shred some before spring, did I make a mistake in buying this protein? It's only 16 servings so I'll finish it out regardless. What is the best protein on the market?
ON gold standard has always been my fail-safe go to protein but I'm wanting to try new kinds.

This may be the norm, but everyone should try a higher rep program once just to see if works for them.
I did 5's and 3's for 7 years, hit lots of plateaus and never saw the body comp I really wanted.
I changed to an older style program with a mix of anything from 7reps to 10, and frequent AMRAPs. I've never been better. For some reason, I've gotten better in every aspect.
Strength is up, body comp is better, and I just generally feel better.
Maybe I'm a "volume responder" I just wish I'd tried this years ago.
