Yes I have switched to Bill Starr 5x5 for intermediate lifters. Mainly because of my life being very hectic right now, my training gets very infrequent. So I wanted to do a program that is basic and has squats in every time. I know Jim Wendler has outlinet a couple of possibilities for this, but I also wanted to do something different for a while.
And it is still a proven program, focus on the main lifts, linear progression, no bull shit. I switch back to 531 when I get more stability in my life.
