Throughout the program, I only lifted only set of five reps in my deadlift. Workout B included squats, bench-press and bent-over barbell row. Workout A had me doing squats, overhead press and deadlift (deadlift was only one set of five reps). With a squat based, 5×5 program, I was able to build a thicker frame and increase strength rapidly after returning to the gym. I didn’t want a workout, which would waste my time, standing in front of a mirror doing bicep curls and tricep pushdowns which might give me bigger arms, but wouldn’t help my overall strength. I wanted to get back in the gym but wanted to ensure I was maximising my workouts to put on strength and size. I had been out of the gym for a few years after an injury and had noticed a serious decrease in my strength. MAXIMISE YOUR WORKOUT ROUTINE WITH 5×5 LIFTINGĪfter turning 40, I was looking for a solution to regain some of the strength I had in my 20s, without killing myself in the gym every day and pushing my body to the limit of injury.

You do five sets of each exercise, with five reps in each set. mix in some box jumps and lunges if i wanna fry the legs but dont add weight.5×5 Lifting programs usually involve you performing five compound exercises per week with a barbell. I’ll do 5x5 or 5x7 but i dont need to risk the additional weight just to keep adding and potentially risk injury. I have a rule now where I dont lift over 245# for back squat. forget about a calorie deficit…just not sustainable for more than two weeksĪll of that said, once you go through it and get your strength up, its relatively easy to maintain even if you don’t add weight.

any more than 2 days of lifting a week is incredibly taxing and likely will result in a hole.

you need to double up your days on the bike and lifting, then just have a full day off, otherwise you never get to recover.

Its hard to do on a mid-volume plan and likely needs a low vol plan to be successful.

Its a good way to start and make good progression but once you get to plateau becomes incredibly taxing.Similar to what has been posted I’ve tried Starting Strength which follows a routine close stronglifts.
