when u do the 5 times 5 routine. lets say im beching, i do only 5 reps with the same weight through all 5 sets? even if i can go heavier? i usually work my way up but always doing as many reps as i can.

I don't know if you are asking a question. But the idea behind it is to continually increase the weight you are lifting each training session (for the particular exercise you are doing it with). So you start with a weight that you can get 5x5 with, fairly easily. Next training session add 5lbs. Keep adding a small amount of weight each training session. When you are unable to do 5x5 anymore, switch to 3x5 or 5x3 and increase weight with those reps. Then go back to the weight where you first missed 5x5 and try it again.
slayer i think the 5x5 your talking about is the one made out by needsize right? the one i'm talking about is the original from bill starr. here is a link. it concentrates on getting stronger in the core lifts. you can add in a tri ex on mon and fri and a bi ex on wed. read all the links on this page..... very good info on it..

You might have already answered this but what did you start out weighing when you started, and how long have you been on?
