Reg Parks 5x5

FINALLY finished the fucking sticky and decided on Reg Parks Beginners Routine 5x5 (recommended in sticky). Has anyone done it or can speak on it? Am I fucking up or should I just do SS or SL? Also, do i have to strictly ONLY do the exercises in the routine or can i add in some isolations as well? Dont wanna be another ss victim posting in the CBT's 6 months from now. Also are there any how to's for this routine? compared to SL and SS it doesn't have any pieces to read that elaborate on it for a dyel to learn..

to answer the last bit you should definitely just read SS to learn the form for the main lifts

also I wouldn't add anything at first; there's a lot of accessories already. Also make sure you know that the first two sets are warmups so it's more like a 3x5 program

i did it, here's my three month progress (from jan 18 to apr 21. 203 lb to 183 lb. 6 ft tall)

Thank you i appreciate it
Wow dude awesome progress. How did you start? just followed the routine and thats it? What is 'Wrist Work 2x10'?

i basically just follow the routine. i have excel on my phone and i track my lift progress so i'm always meeting or exceeding the previous lifting session's weight

and for weeks where i repeat the same exercise, say AxBxA, instead of doing back squats twice, i'll do back squats monday and then front squats on friday. barbell bench monday, dumbbell bench friday. etc etc

for wrist work, i do overhand barbell wrist curls on A and underhand wrist curls on B
for calves, i'll do seated one day and standing the next

also my diet consists of eating about 1200-1500 calories a day. not sure if you're trying to lose weight, but i can help you there too

No, OP. Nobody has ever done Reg Park's beginner routine. That's why it was put in the sticky that was written years ago, because nobody has ever done it.

BRO you have no idea how much youre helpin out my newb gains right now, thanks man. So how long usually is the workout per day? I'm a skinnyfat but more on the skinny side. I think i wanna bulk to build some good muscle mass then cut.
did you change waist sizes? and what made you choose that routine? just curious.

sorry for the slow response, I was at the gym and I don't get reception there

I take about 2-3 minutes between sets, so a typical workout is about 70 minutes, +/-10 minutes.

I chose the routine because it has the most important lifts (squat, dl, bench, ohp) while still giving really good attention to aesthetics (lats, biceps, calves, wrists). it's also well ordered. you use most of your energy on the important lifts and then you're left with just enough energy for the high rep, low weight aesthetic stuff at the end

my pant size went from a 34 waist being too tight to a 31 fitting perfectly

if you're skinny fat, I would implore you to cut just a bit while you're still able to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. then you can start slow bulking

what do you currently look like? I can give you better a better opinion from there
