I have been doing 5x5 for a month now and I think it is possibly the best workout I have ever done. I liked Dogg Crapp but you only get to do one exercise per bodypart with 5x5 you do 3 and they all go up if you do it right. I have decided to post my results so as to let others know how good this workout is. I have already modified some of the workout because some lifts have stopped progressing as much, and it really does keep it going.
Monday
flat bench- 5x3x195(5 sets of 3 of 195)
incline dumbells- 8x60 12x60
slight decline db-8x60 11x60
seated dips-5x115 5x115 9x115
cable tricep pushdown-90x8 90x9
single hand db tricep ext-30x8 30x6
Now it is important to remember that all lifts have a 3 second negative. A question I had though is whether to go all out on my last set of the 5x5 exercise or to just go for 5(or 3 like the bench) any help would be great.
