Theres about 5000 dudes on BB.com with 6packs and big muscles doing 5 reps with max weight for compounds. I trust a huge sample size over steroid users that I cannot relate to. Isolation movements like bicep curls are more person to person and can see gains with 5 reps to 20 reps.
Ridiculous. You know how hard it takes to gain even 1 pound of pure muscle in a month? Who wrote this original mass gain program and don't you think the newer version is better than the outdated version? Starting strength combined with a couple iso exercises is what newbies should be doing.

20 rep squats is the original mass gaining program. Lots of skinny kids have put on 40 pounds of muscle on little more than 20 rep squats.
