5x5 stronglifts and adding isolation exercises

jacknyland98_

Hello All

So, I am currently doing 5x5 stronglifts and have been for about a month and a bit now. I want to start adding my own isolation exercises, ignoring the ones on the app. I have been thinking of how to structure these and what isolation exercises may be best. My aim is to build up my chest and arms a bit more, with my legs already being quite toned and stomach slowly losing body fat.

I was thinking a bit of a push, pull thing so on week A of stronglifts have two push isolation days and one pull, then one week B two pull and one push.

Any suggestions? Especially with rep ranges and how to progress with lifts

Don't change how the template is programmed, find a template that is appropriate for your needs and adherence.

If you want hypertrophy, use a template that includes hypertrophy. SL is only a strength template and hardly any use after stalls are near if optimal results are expected.
