What is a 5X5 workout?

gerard54

i found it on here but basically its 5 reps and 5 sets of bench press, squats, barbell rows, overhead presses, and deadlifts. its all compound excercises so its a total body workout...

I think we're talking about Stronglifts here.

indeed...

The key is that your only doing 3 lifts a day, 3 days a week. 5x5 squats followed by either 5x5 bench press and 5x5 pendlay rows or 5x5 standing over head press and 1x5 deadlift

The first couple of times are a real bear! But recovery becomes much quicker once you get into the routine.

I'm also a big fan of Stronglifts 5x5.

the only thing im worried about is form, its really easy to do these excercises wrong...

I'm going to start Stronglifts this afternoon. I haven't done any real weightlifting in over 15 years (at least). I'm pretty jacked about it.
