anybody had success with 5x5 workout

been doing it for 2 weeks, been training for years but just started to take it serious after a surgerry 1.5 years ago, never been in so much pain after workouts and rest days unreal.

anybody have any tips/tweaks thats had success with this program???

never heard of it.

Whats it like?

5x5 is a basic powerlifting program, best part about it is only 3x a week, here the basic as i was taught:

day 1  Flat Bench. Squat . Dips (wieghted) i add explosive pushups

Day 2  Deads, Dynamic Rows, chins (wighted) Standing push press

Day 3  Flat bench, Squat, Deads, i add pushups and chins

U warm up obviuosly then Do 5 sets of 5 reps until u complete that then next time add 5lbs until u can complete that

ex in my bench i currently completed 200lbs and now im attempting 205 today i did 5 5 4 4 3 i will do this until i can reach 5 5 5 5 5

anybody done anything like this??? it supposed to be for 12 weeks, its used mostly for strength....

Seems like a good routine............ keep it simple...... and has dead lifts in there.

The older I get, the more I realize that don't need to hit each muscle as often as thought I did.  Just hit it hard once a week or even two.

best workout ive done,  actual look forward to going to gym and reaching the next level, especially when stuck on same wieght for a couple of weeks, squats have increased the most by far usually complete after 5 x 5 2nd time through.

protein shakes make sure you follow uo right after workout. Muscles weigh more than fat keep doing 5x5 you will bulk  as i did. Now 2 years  later im trying to loose and go with a jacked look, im 43 in july. Check out bodybuilders dot com. Oh and i got up to 425 squat it goes quick.
