5x5

I like to pride myself on not being a typical trainer with my clients. I go for less of that "lets get that killer "pump" workout" approach and actually try to develop results in my clients. For example, I have one mid 50's 80% blind gentleman with whom I have on a variation of a 5x5 routine. I...

Ok, so I've been here before, Bill Starr's 5x5, stuck at week 6 for 2-3 weeks, intense cardio, CKD diet, and.... my body starts to fail me. I begin getting tired, my legs feel like sharp needles are shooting into them, muscles begin to tighten up, upper back pain... I'm working at a gym now and...

Hey, I'm 16 years old, and I currently weigh around 155-160 pounds. I eat at least 3000 calories a day, which takes pretty much everything I've got. I'm also in the fourth week of madcow's intermediate version of the Bill Starr 5X5 and I've seen at least 15 pound increases in all my lifts. I...

5x5 training has become very popular over the past few years. Weight training is a quirky thing as many of the popular methods have actually been around for a long time. Originally developed by Reg Park, the 5x5 method involves doing 5 sets of 5 reps, using the same resistance. That's the...
