Hi fitness buffs!
I am a beginner and I am trying to find the optimal training for my body building routine.
I got recommended to 5x5 strength training.
I happen to like the premise as I always wanted to get stronger, but I worry that maybe I am being sold too quickly because of me liking this selling point.
What's your guys take on 5x5? Has anyone tried it long term? If yes what did it do for you? Also post some stats about you before starting 5x5

Also please feel free to disagree if you feel like it but if you do make sure you explain why so we can all learn. Thank you

It's fine, start with an empty bar and be committed.

Read the sticky. Why in the world would anyone do 1x5
>>35639470
There's literally nothing wrong with deadlifting 1x5

Is that right?

Except barely working at all. I thought the point of working out was to fatigue your muscles, not do a single fucking set.

Enjoy big legs and skinnyfat upperbody.
But seriously its a good beginner's program. Once you get ro bodyweight ohp, 1.25 bodyweight bench, 1.75 squat and 2deadlift then move onto a ppl routine for dat hypertrophy.

Heavy deads can drain. Come bqck when you lift more than 10kg fqggot.

What the fuck are you even talking about? Maybe hit the gym before you try to give fitness advice. Enjoy your non existent posterior chain.

My 1rm deadlift is 510 pounds. I've literally never done more than 2 triples at a working weight for deadlifts.

I don't get how these people can't see it. It's a fucking dinosaur sprinting around and it still doesn't get there fucking attention
