    Hey I'm 63 and have been doing the 5x5 for 5 weeks now and I have noticed a big difference in strength and how my body responds. I would say keep it up and when your squating 300lbs you'll be glad you did.

    Yes it is, 5x5 was the original method of BB training.

    Bodybuilders back in the 1930-1950 trained with 5x5 all the time, 5 day a week 'bro splits' only became popular when people started taking more and more steroids. Reg Park trained with 5x5 almost exclusively and he certainly looked like a bodybuilder.

    Of course eventually you will need to add in some isolation work to address certain bodyparts, or look at a similar style workout which includes some additional isolation work such as

    Thats not really correct either.

    And that's what I was talking about. More isolation work. I don't see you isolate one single muscle following a standard 5x5 program. You'll build a solid strength base following 5x5 but eventually you will ot progress anymore. Better results using a different split.

    question is why? Top bodybuilder you ask a question which exercise is the best, they always say, compount.

    1)dips and deadlifts
    2)frontsquat and chinups.

    add weight with chinups, and tell me your bicep won't grow!

    stop thinking, more is more. DAMN YES,

    LESS IS MORE ;)

    you don't get big without being strong. to get strong you do strength training.

    for someone new to lifting, a BB split is pointless. they just can't push enough to really get any results. Not to mention the volume is far to low.

    5x5 until you can move onto a more intermediate split like PHAT or 5/3/1.
