The 5 x 5 workout split has to be one of the worst workout splits ever. It kind of prioritizes bodybuilding and kind of prioritizies strength so you ulimately don’t get many benefits of either. Focus on bodybuilding and focus on strength but don’t do both in the gym at the same time.

High Intensity, low volume >>>>
Thank you Mike Mentzer 🕊️
This is why Leon edwards had a dream
5v5 speaks by itself. Sad to see you become a "hypertrophy or strength" nerd…not that you weren't one already, you just label it differently.
Jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one
I dont understand why people dont understand training speficity. If you want increase your 1 rep max train 1-5 reps per set with heavy as you can. If you want build muscle train 6-15reps per set with challenging but not too heavy. If you want train endurance train for 20-40reps per set. Speed/explosiveness low weights 30-50% of your max as fast reps as you can. Those are the 4 main training targets you can choose from.
5×5 was a bodybuilder founded training method :L
5×5 is so stupid, training until muscular failure takes the dub
This is why Leon Edward chase one mario brother at night 💀
Hey, i am new to working out so probably a dumb question to ask but for strength purpose how many sets and reps are required
I agree 💯 I started doing high intensity and low volume and my squat blew up
Theres no hypertrophy goal in 5×5 dumbass
5×5 full body workouts aren't meant to be 6 days a week youre doing to much work in a week. If you lift 3 days a week then you'll be in great shape and very aesthetic.
This kid doesn't know what he's talking about.
5×5 doesn’t necessarily mean high intensity.
5×5 StrongLifts is one of the best programs I’ve ever discovered. If you genuinely wanna get better with the compound lifts and perfect your form while putting on a shit ton of plates. Starting Strength or StrongLifts is you’re go to. Don’t listen to this twink
Brodie 5×5 exploded my bench press
Another reason why Mario is weak as hell…
I use the “slightly heavier shit” method I lift a weight till it gets easier then I lift slightly heavier shit then I repeat I don’t often Max out just because I don’t need a number that I can lift for 1 rep but if I’m Squatting 405 for 8 easy reps I know a fair few pounds over that will be good
What do these twins know ? Really. What’s their bench ? 250 lol. Stop. They look slow too and can barely jump. No athletes here
Training for hypertrophy or strength is a myth you can’t get stronger without getting bigger and vice versa
Intensity it the key driver of growth, the rep range only really impacts fatigue. 5x5s work. And they work very well if used properly.
Like for squat. One day ill do 5×5, 2-3 days later ill do 8×2 of klokov squats with the same weight. At the start of the program ill progress weights by 20lb increments, shortly after 10 lb increments. Then after that ill make my final set on my 5×5 days an AMRAP until i can put on 10lbs. Then a breif deload, and i do the same thing again. Sometimes ill throw in a top set of front squats if i feel good that day, but the 5×5 is where the main building happens, and the klokov squat is what cements it with stability and control.
I do a 5×5 and I get both with full benefits even more than when I used different techniques
Yeah rest time inbetween those 5 sets literally is 100% of that equation & you could nvr assess this wout that most important #
It’s impossible to not train for strength and hypertrophy at the same time
Are you really a personal trainer ? 🤔
Damm, he knows
I gyatt something In my eye
5×5 isnt fu*king high volume because its has really low exercise count its literally the most simplest program imagineable and its great for starters and unlike you its made from actual exercise scientist and professionals
Im doing 5×5 and my strength is absolutely exploding, plus i’ve also gained a bit of mass from it
Mario rios never fails to make me question the society
Powerlifter dont train very intense. They keep RPE relatively low unless they max out. So high volume mid to low intensity is the way to go for strength. You also need the high volume to perfect your form on the big 3
Not all strength work should be done at high volume
5×5 is what built me up during high school. I have switch to 2-3 working sets of 5 reps now to optimize recovery
5×5 is a great programme for beginners. Considering which lifts ur doing. And ur not doing it on something like bicep curls which it was never intended for. More for. Compound big lifts. It’s great for beginners. Them getting bigger and stronger is basically linear and unavoidable. Only in higher experience levels can u start diverging. And the volume and intensity is manageable for noobs since they can’t lift much, recover systemically pretty fast. And grow even faster
What are your thoughts on bodybuilders like Steve reeves that were around before anabolics
Bro has an O taper 💀
Fitness advice like this is the reason nobody is actually getting healthy. Too much noise and not enough genuine advice. Be active, progressive overload, eat real foods, and get sleep. If you don’t have an ascetic physique after this who cares. You will be healthier than 80% of people..
It’s good for building leg strength on squats a lot of Olympic lifters do those type of workouts
G yacht
5×5 are not bad, but should not be gone to instantly, work up to it
Gyatt
Why does every girl who goes to the gym need to wear underwear that goes in their ass crack
5×5 is very good training program if you are beginner or amateur. You said bro split is best for beginner and its not right. I started my lifting journey with bro split and it doesnt have any progress. When i started 5×5 it was my real journey
