The 5x5 is a great way to boost your compound lifts. Here’s how to set it up:
-weight for the 5x5 should be 70-80 percent of 1 rep max or a weight you can do for 8-10 reps.
-if you’ve never done a 5x5 even a little lighter isn’t a bad idea
-then just as the name suggests 5 sets of 5 reps
The 5x5 maximizes efficiency, improves neuromuscular efficiency, and promotes bone density.
Hope this helps, have a good day!
