You don't need anything else.

How much of it you do?

And keep going bro, was looking at your 5RM's and you squat and bench are impressive, more than mine especially squat, heres my 5RM's before I started 5x5:

SQUAT: 57kg (125lbs) <-- sucks
BENCH: 44kg (97lbs) <-- sucks
BB Row: (strict form) 55kg (121 lbs)
Deadlift: 88kg (194 lbs)
Behind The Neck Military: 34kg (79lbs)

Today I tested Bench, Row and Military and Iv added over 10reps to my 10RM on bench, Over 10reps to my 9RM on BB Row and 2reps on My military 6RM.

Damn your squats piss me off lol.

how much of what do i do?

dont worry about your bench and squat they will get higher..."especially your squat" well it did for me

on the squats you probably go lower than me...i just go parellel

but your rows and military are better than me

 

[ExtraMile]

Oh yeah maybe, I go so low down I can feel my calves touch the underside of my thigh
Do you do military infront or behind the head?

& I ment how much basketball do you do?

 

[SCREW]

i do it infront

well the last few years ive just been on the school team and with that we practice every day except for the weekend and we have games about 2-3 times a week and it lasts for about 3 or 4 months

hey am i starting off to high for this time...i only took off 15 lbs from my 5rm's?

Here's my recent experience with squats and the 5x5.

June - 5 x 225 my Max

Tonight i got 325 five times. That's 100 pounds in roughly 4 months. I'll buy that for a dollar!

Nice! are you still on it?

how much weight did you take off from your 5rm after you reset?

Yeah, I'm still on it. I didn't end taking any off when I reset. I did end up plateauing after failing 325 twice four weeks ago, so I ramped back up to it. I did the same thing with DLs (which I never failed, but my form was going to hell) and shoulder presses.

I've changed a couple of things though. My bench press just brick walled at 245, so I am doing Inclines for awhile instead. Some of it was peaking, but a lot of it was fucking my left arm up a little acting like an idiot one night. Inclines seemed to not bother whatever I hurt in my shoulder and elbow, but flat bench hurt like hell. When I get to 225 on inclines, I'm switching back to flat bench. I've also started doing a straight set of power cleans (moving up 5 pounds every week) on Day 1 and doing a 5 x5 of ramped sets of rows on Friday. So far the numbers are still ticking up on both, so I am happy with it.
