5x5 question..

[swolemc]

I just started doing the 5x5 this week and im gonna give it a try for about a month.. now i know you need to increase the weight on the workout with 5 reps but what about the other lifts for the other exercises? do you use a constant weight throughout the month or do you increase those weights by the week as well???

when i do the 5x5 system i go for the same weight for each set, also u might want to throw in a 3x15 straight after, cause then ur hammering fast twitch and slow twitch fibres. example off my back w/o Deadlift 5x5 160kg, lat pull down 3x15 75kg, single arm rows 3x15 35kg, t bar rows 5x5 110kg. each week i increase the weight by 5-10kg all depends how i feel.

yeh so what i was asking is do you increase the weight for all excersises or just the 5 set 5 rep one.

just the 5x5 mate soz forgot to include that, the others stay the same intil u think ur strong enough to start to increase them and ur body can cope with the training.
