Epsilon Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 5x5 is the way to go, my compounds have gone up so much from doing them. 1
Hash1mate Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 I really don't like 5x5's, especially for beginners. I honestly think you're better off just working out normally, 4 day splits 12 sets per workout etc. i feel like 5x5 only gives strength not much muscle mass and when you're bulking/starting it's muscle mass that's what you want. Espesh since gains are gonna come fast for a beginner. Goodluck though hope it goes well
luddepower Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) No, keep doing 5x5. If you never been working out heavy before it is great to build a steady base. Don't give up mate! Remember, being in the gym is the fun part. Now eat properly to support muscle GAINZ! Edited April 22, 2015 by luddepower 2
pitoluwa Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 Hash1mate: I aim for strength actually, I look like a bones and skin, so doing ANYTHING for me should make me look normal.
Oliver Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 u better post some irl pics so we can see dem mucles before and after please

Goodluck though hope it goes well You can get good mass off 5x5... and the point for a beginner would be to get you stronger, specifically focusing on your core and assisting muscles like traps so that your body can develop and adapt, and you can then change to any other program and be able to push yourself with proper form for optimal gains. 1
pitoluwa Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 guys it's 3 weeks, i still look like a shit, but ive done a pic "before" tho xD

eleax Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 try super setting do you super set same muscle/muscle group or do you super set 2 different muscle groups like chest and triceps
