what the fuck is the 1x5 deadlift in SL supposed to mean? I do some warmups but I never know by how much to increase so I just randomly add weights for 2 sets until I do only one set of my actual planned weigth. I feel like it's not enough. it is hard, I can't do more than 5 but I feel like I could do more than only one set of deadlifts. what do?
What the fuck is the 1x5 deadlift in SL supposed to mean...
When you are at low weight, you can just do 5x5 for proper form muscle targetting. Later on, it gets increasingly hard as you are supposed to keep increasing weight so you can only do 1x5 comfortably. If you follow his advise, you would be doing 1x5 with 10kg+10kg+bar or so. That has zero effect.
> I feel like it's not enough.
Clearly you have the experience and move enough weight at this point to know what you should do, it's why you're on a beginners routine. Make your own workout plan bro. You know what's up.
will do
shut up
you're being sarcastic but I'd unironically recommend this for everyone. doing a program is not difficult. only the lazy and mentally challenged need to follow a routine from the internet
No def bro. Any first timer knows what's best. Why bother following a proven and effective routine when you can badly reinvent the wheel yourself.
it's not SL fault you didn't fucking read the programming manual. if you're too dumb to do that at least use the fucking app. it calculates the warm up sets for you. typically you'll be doing 4-5 warm-up sets going from 1 plate up to like 90% of your working weight
diddly is very taxing on the body
at higher working weights you should be getting gassed after 1x5
It means you just do one set of five reps you dip
I use an app called warmup for this.
