Ollie Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Heard a lot about the 5x5 but never really looked into it. Sounds pretty cool to change up the usual routines though Is it just the main compound movements every session, 5x5 reps, then like 1/2/3 days off 1 day on? Or do u just do it like a normal split and just replace the exercises for 5x5 instead of 3/4 x 8-12?
Walli Posted June 4, 2013 Author Posted June 4, 2013 only big compounds. i only do bench, deads, squat, overhead bb press then throw in some normal wiehgted dips and then pull ups.
Kofte Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 On 5 x 5 first two sets are usually used as weight acclimation or warm up and its percent based as opposed to doing 5 sets of 5 at a certain weight. Check out Stronglifts its a good 5 x 5 basis
