I posted this on another thread yesterday , but thought I d put it out there just in case anyone is also wondering the same...

1. How important is it (ICF 5x5) to do the exercises in the order they are listed ( squat, bp, row, etc) is it possible to group heavier exercises together and vise versa for light exercises - w/o adverse effects?
2. (Beginners) is it ok to increase weight every workout week as opposed to every day? Side note: I have found that I have been able to progress daily for some workouts while others I have been stuck at for an average of 3 wo days or more (i.e. I've been @55-60lbs squats for a couple weeks b/c I've been trying to perfect my form before ++ weight - I have mobility issues due to past issues w Knee -can only do 1/2 squats**
3. ** are there any stretches you could recommend to increase my mobility/rom?
4. When working with lower weights , I've read that you can do more than 1x5 DLs, w/o too much stress to the Cent.Ner.SyS. Is this accurate ? What are your experiences ?


Thanks in advance
