5x5

normally i would agree but with 3x5 i feel like im not even working out.

by the time im done with 5 sets of squats im ready to fucking lay down and die

>i feel
disregard feelings, use math
if you lift 3x5 and add 5lb next session, you are making gains

>workout
>heart rate doesnt go up at all

How can there be gains where there is no work being outed

>how is moving more weight and getting stronger each session a workout?
bait

5*5 takes too long to complete

5 minutes rest time between sets isn't practical

>5 minute rests between sets

w-what

Im only resting a minute

>heart rate
so what? you think your heart rate (as if that meant shit) will not go up when lifting heavy shit for just three sets? are you gonna stay on 5x5 forever just feel like you are doing cardio? do you think that more advanced lifters dont get a crazy rush while doing sets of 3 or 2 or even singles?

I mean you can go full clarence and do 5x5 every single day with like 250+kg but he's a freak

when did you start lifting & how much do you squat ?

>Im only resting a minute
that's a bad idea at later stages, you'll need at least 2-3 minutes to rest between sets, and when you get really advance that can get up to 10minutes or more

when you get stronger you need to rest more

I have been lifting on and off for like 2-3 years. I just started up again and im going slow im only squatting ass to grass LMFAO less than 1 pl8

If i sacrificed form and depth i could go to 1plate+ easy

Repetition max you fucking dumbdumb
>le no pain no gain meme
Such an american, but then again 5x5 programs are the quintessence of american sports science

So when do you switch to 3x5

I dunno

shoot for 3 mins, thats about how long it takes your ATP to replenish

w-what if i like feeling like this after a workout?

Never.

>Such an american
You do know Americans are the ones pushing for the "do as little as possible that can make you achieve results" approach right?

You start off as 3x5 then move onto further volume, starting with 5x5 will just mean you stall sooner.

>Le do more volume because do more volume with no justification

No wonder he's raking in the dough.

But what do I do if I've already started with 5x5

Yes, they are finally now almost 50 years later adapting the superior soviet principles.

doing 3 compunds a workout. Do 2 compounds then isolations for more gains

>Superior soviet principles
>When bulgarians shat down everyone's throats for years doing literally insane amounts of volume
>inb4 muh roids as if other nations don't roid.
There are many ways to skin a cat.
Swap to 3x5 once you have stall deload by 10% and push it again until you stall after the 2nd stall just switch to an intermediate program 3 day program and then switch to 4 day one and enjoy being on it for literally years until you get bored of it rather it stalling.

>doing literally insane amounts of volume
They didn't though.

youre just getting used to it brah. first time switching from 3x10 i failed my shit.

but after that i grew. went from benching 145 to 225 in 3 months

In comparison to others it was stop being a moron and learn about Abadjiev and his entire training philosophy.

Frequency != volume

It's about progressive overload, that's what makes muscles bigger and stronger, not feeling like dying

>Training frequently at 90% of 1rm
>Not high volume
>Hurrdurr i'm a retarded weightlifter kid

>doing one (1) single @ 90-100% per day
>a lot of volume
"no"

>Doing a single multiple times
>not a lot of volume
>he's still at it

the fuck is this shit

>all these idiots itt dont know that 1 set to failure produces the same results as multiple sets
feels good to be superior

You are doing it wrong, get the SL 5x5 app and read the guide online, follow it exactly.

I have the app i love it.

>He follows sports science when it's literally shit tier studies with horrible methodologies
Feels good not being a brainlet and can understand studies.

have fun spending 3-5 times longer in the gym for no extra results

Okay, brainlet.

>Calling anyone newfag when he's a dyel brainlet that can only read conclusions in studies
topkek
