  • 5x5 training

    Started this routine last week
    got it of stringlifts.com its yh basic 5x5 routine you just add 2.5kg every gym day
    It says on website to start with empty bar but couldnt be arsed with that so started light but not just bar
    makin this thread just to follow me own progress more than anything
    this is the weight iv started on so wont get to my max rep now for a few weeks
    just goin try it for 12 weeks an see if i can get stronger
    The routine is
    Workout A
    squat
    overhead press
    deadlift

    workout B
    sqaut
    bench
    bent over row

    5x5 3 times a week
    coz its only light for me now im doin 5x5
    weighted pull ups an dips
    at end of every session an 50 press ups
    but wen its gets heavy il fuck them off an just stick with the routine
    the startin stats are
    squat 50kg
    bench 60kg
    deadlift 60kg
    overpress 40kg
    bent over row 50kg

    Ther nowere near my max but like i say it says start with just bar but id be doin to light for to long
    an cos im squatin 3x week il be goin up 7.5 kg i week so it will soon get up to my max

    So anyway im in mine bored so has anyone done this roitine b4 i no its a pretty standed one
    sould add iv also lost over a stone since beginning off dec just by diet
