How do you tailor 5x5 for you?
How do you tailor 5x5 for you?
I would recommend actually training your arms
You do barbell exercises for 5 sets of 5 reps. Idk what’s so complicated about that?
I pick thing up, then I put thing down.
It's a great routine, but it's not the perfect routine for everyone for every goal in mind. There's ways to modify it for people who focus on different things.
You make changes that you think will generate better results for you than the original routine.
add accessories to progressively overload your upper body to avoid the t-rex look. also if I eat a lot when squat and deadlifting frequently, I start to look fat.
bench variation +dips or chins, tri pull down or skull crushers
ohp or row variation +lat pull down, shrugs or raises
squat or deadlift +pull ups, cable curls, farmers walks or hammer curls.
that's me, good pump, feel aight, my back hurts tho.
Only non-brainlet here apparently
5'7 132lbs 13.3%bf DYEL manlet here. I've been doing this for two weeks, the app is great (I paid for the Power Rack by the way, neat features). I simply add chin-ups at the end of each workout since my triceps are so bad I can't do a single dip with good form. Been eating on maintenance to get that body recomposition gains.
Just started 5x5. Probably gonna try adding close grip bench or dips, and maybe curls
