What is the best workout for gain strength?

[Silent87]

You know, this time is the "off season". I am focusing on gain the weight and strength. I don't know what is the best workout routine for this. My bench press is the most weak point for me. People usually thought I can bench over 315 because of my size. Show me some workout routine you think it may help my situation. Thanks guys

I would look into a Wendler 5/3/1 Hybrid or a Westside program.

agree with the neck, 5/3/1 is awesome. also google Brandon Lilly's cube method. both of these are geared (no pun intended) toward the raw lifter.

Thanks guys. I've seen 5x5 workout. What do you think of 5x5?

I wonder what kind of workout Derek Poundstone uses?

5 x 5 is by far my favorite. I've never wasted my time with any other laid out programs.

If one can complete 15 reps in the First 3 sets of any given exercise, then increase the weight by 2.5 - 5lbs max - next workout. Works best with every other day training.

I really couldn't find the right one for 5 x 5 workout routine. There are few different routine which got me confused. Care to give me the right one that you suggest. Thanks

I really liked 5x5 when I tried it a couple years back. Really shot up my strength and I wasn't even on anything back then. Like Adrenolin said, do it every other day. It really is a lot of wear and tear on your body with all that heavy weight so you'll definitely need adequate rest time.
