Awesome! I could never get 5x5 to work that well for myself. It always felt like it was either really intense, but not quite enough volume for my body, or too easy. I never hit the sweet spot. I prefer 531 along with the Boring-But-Big 5x10 accessory lifts. For my body that feels like a better mix of intensity and still getting enough volume. It's good to hear this review though, maybe I will have to re-evaluate in a couple months when I hit some plateaus.

I think what's most important is to stick with what works personally. It's easy to get swayed by different programs. It also depends on your goals. Why do you do weight lifting? Strenght or Body Building?
Why do I do it? Mainly because I like it :p haha. I guess in the grand scheme of things, it's not a bad thing to be addicted to. I would say I am into powerlifting as far as I can get with still preserving my joints long term, and I'm into bodybuilding as far as I can get without having to be a robot about my diet.
sounds like a great balance to me. I'll be following you, just in case I can get some insight into your progress. :-)
