Anon mous My view on it is that 5x5 is generally a great program for increasing strength. Now what does that do? Let's say you progress from a 225 lbs bench press to a 315 lbs bench press (5x5), and then you work your way up to 3x10 with 315. Now what will probably result in larger muscles, 3x10 with 225 or 3x10 with 315? ;) In other words: becoming stronger might not directly lead to larger muscles, but it CAN be the first half of the equation - first you increase strength, then you increase volume with that strength and boom goes the dynamite. High volume with a higher weight

You guys need to go over to omar isuf and Jason blaha! The total volume and training frequencie is what is going to determine muscle growth at the end of the day. 5x5 is simply just a good way to get volume in AND to progress on a heavy compound movement, i.e. to up the total volume week by week and thereby build muscle. I think Semper Fidelis hit the right point, the guy didn't ecperienced much muscle growth because the volume was too low for him. But this is still weird, since this IS enough volume for the majority of lifters, training for less than 2 years..

I'm 170 lbs and after going through SL 5x5, my bench shot up to a one rep max of 320, my squat max was 400, and my deadlift max was 505. The program is legit if you do it right, start with a low enough weight to allow continual progression, and you make sure to eat plenty of calories to fuel muscle hypertrophy.

You should incorporate bodybuilders style workouts to actually promote some muscle growth it will help for the power lifting long term

The bench press is what's by biggest problem. The squats, deads, and rows are gradually increasing, but the bench-press reps are very challenging. I don't get why I cannot make faster gains on the bench press.

Nice job! I started this App a couple months ago. I added several exercises and variations and reps per set etc. I think starting with the basic movements in 5x5 then adding and changing stuff with the app is awesome. Before using the app I was pretty bad at tracking my workouts and also getting ideas for different variations. It’s really helped me build strength and lift and move heavy stuff at work better and with less soreness or injury.

IMPRESSIVE lifts and good range of motion, especially on the squat deserves Props. HOWEVER, a few things to take notice of for viewers looking to emulate this ginger: 1. squat - your right knee is caving in big time going up. this could end up becoming a major blowout should you keep increasing weight. you might be having issues with that knee already, especially if you decide to start doing sprints or plyo intervals. 2. deadlift - back is rounded and neck is hyperextended. on the heavier rep, you're basically squatting the deadlift once the bar is off the ground. 3. overhead press - lumbar and thoracic spine are very hyperextended. I would use the strength gains you've made to go backwards and focus on keeping a neutral spine through these lifts. You may not be able to lift half of what you're lifting, but this will help evenly develop supporting muscles and help prevent injury. Then you can consider increasing again. People - lifting heavy with this chap's hyperextended form puts you at GREAT RISK for herniated discs and pinched nerves. Spinal injuries are No Joke and will last the rest of your life. A lot of people with these injuries end up on drugs and suicidal because the pain is constant. Always rest adequately and NEVER max out if you feel remotely tired or as if you can't focus 100%. Ideally, never max out at all, stay at 5 reps minimum. Train smart. Peace.

Your form impresses me. Very well done! It's rare to see someone with not a lot of experience lifting perform his 1rpm with good form.

Try increasing your volume and you will really increase your strength. Alan Thrall has a great video explaining why this works. My chest has been my weakest part with almost no real strength gains while trying 5x5 programs using as much weight as I could. I did this for months with very little increase in strength. someone mentioned using a 10x10 program to break through plateaus and I started doing this for bench and not only has my chest strength increased a lot in the last few weeks, but I have put on a decent amount of mass. More muscle mass = more stregth. 5x5 programs are for beginners and you look like you are beyond being a beginner. Don't be afraid of using less weight for more reps with increased rest periods, it really works.

What I found always helped with 5x5 is that on an exercise where i failed doing the full 5 sets of 5 reps, at the end of it before moving onto the next exercise I would decrease the weight by 10kg and then push to failure. Take off another 10kg and push to failure. Until I had an empty bar. Really burnt out the muscles and helped them grow back stronger.

Once your lifts get too heavy for stronglifts I recommend day 1: Squats, Deads, Rows and chins. Day 2:Bench, Incline Bench, Clean and Press, Dips. done in an ABA BAB format also. On off days do farmers walks. Its a killer and very heavy but worth it.,

You've done great better than most ppl ever do but on the dead lift over extending your hips like that is really bad for your spine. Like so this monster can read this.

Hey man, nice progress. I myself have been doing stronglift for about a month now. Loving it. I have myself not noticed too much muscle growth at the moment but just like you I am getting stronger :)

i been bodybuilding for 2 years and i thought to myself whats the point of coming to the gym 6 or 5 days a week for 3 to 4 hours a day in the morning. for the rest of my life just to look good. i tought about it hard and said its pointless having strength is more ideal for when im older and maybe learn some martial art on my journey so i can be a kick ass grandpa lol. so i transitioned to powerlifting on august of this year 2016 and i tested my maxxes my maxxes where bench 205 squat 330 deadlift 325 even tho it was recommended to start a more advanced program once you hit 300 i decided to do strong lifts because i never did the deadlift and bench properly in the past years so i decided to focus on building my technique to avoid injury. so starting numbers for each lift was bench 85 and im doing 5x5 squat 140 same 5x5 dead 140 since i wanted to incorporate the two styles of deadlifting i did 5x10. 50 reps in total 25 conventional and 25 sumo now that im i need to do 265 5x10 this week its getting tough i did 255 5x10 last week and i succeeded but this deadlift session is building my explosion and grib strength which is nice i think next week i should hit my 5rm prs 175 285 275 and hope the week after that i make mew prs and ill continue till i cant anymore. gl to you in your progress bro hope your soul is half of what ever power you have now so it can come back and your true power comes back.

I started my 5x5 with: Deadlift:135 Squat:105 Bench:95 And 6 months later my 1rm's are Deadlift:405 Squat:315 Bench:225 Keep in mind my form on all of these is quite good. Deadlift no hitching and fully to lockout. Bench good controlled rep lowering bar to touch chest no bouncing. And squat below parallel with hip bone passing below knee.(do have some knee cave on squat though needs some Work)

Nice work. There is a video on you tube "so you think you can squat" that might help clean up a few of the "glitches " in your squat, but not taking anything away from you, bravo! & keep at it.

Your lifts look perfectly fine. Anyone who says anything else is just talking shit. There will always be form breakdown in max effort lifts. People who talk shit on KZread are the worst. Guy starts a program and makes quite a bit of progress, shares his experience freely and then gets ragged on. Bunch of self-righteous dbags who comment with all their negativity.

+Matt McPherson SS is a good program to build strength yes. Building strength and building muscle for beginners are pretty much going to happen unilaterally. As long as you're eating in a calorie surplus, training and getting rest you will gain muscle, especially as a beginner. That's why SS is so good, you get stronger real fast with the core lifts which is all a beginner needs. Once you stall on the program or become an intermittent level gym rat then yes I agree this program might not be the best. But for a beginner this is perfect.

You will get strong and big doing this program.

You were nog as strong in the beginning as your estimated 1RM. You get stronger every time you increase the weight. If you never miss a lift it wouldn't mean you could have done the same weight you're doing now in the beginning. You made more gainz than you think.

For those of you who are saying he didnt put on muscle, of course he did. He's an actual natty unlike 99% of the other people on fitness youtube (including the ones you may think are natty are on stuff too). He put on muscle relative to his frame and genetics (probably 12 pounds of muscle progressing with the numbers he did). Also a lot of slimmer guys like him never bulk up enough to truly look like they lift. I know this because I had issues as a 6'5 guy bulking for the longest time. You cannot separate size and strength as natural, studies clearly show there's almost a direct correlation with a one rep max and the amount of muscle on a person's frame. The only thing you can improve is some lagging body parts that may need more volume. The fitness industry has skewed results on youtube because literally everyone is taking sarms or steroids now a days. Most of these people make a living off of their appearance, so they're gunna take stuff whether it gives them that anabolic look or not. Good progress man, keep the good work up

True. But he may look like lifts if he cuts... As a natty, having a low bodyfat percentage is what would actually make you look like you lift.

Just gonna highlight all the positivity in the comment section. Pretty neat! Being a thin cardio junkie my whole life, im really thinking of hitting the gym and been studying up on how to start this process. I think my next step is just setting foot in the gym and going for it!

5x5 makes you go up after every successful workout day. If you can't do 5x5, you do 3x5, 3x3, or 1x3 to finish that workout, and attempt to do 5x5 the next time. It's very challenging, they dont want you going back down to your previous successful weight

Thought it would be physical results..

Great video bud- tremendous progress! I’m a month into the program at the moment and finding it much more enjoyable than others I’ve tried, would recommend it.

Chris W yes they do target strength better in the context of 1RM weight but they will lead to hypertrophy as well. Total tonnage IS WHAT MATTERS MOST. I can do 20 sets of singles and I will build muscle of off that. Triples especially. 10 sets of 3 will get you identical results to 3 sets of 10 provided that the load is equal making the tonnage the same. A study has confirmed this exact situation. KZread fitness has spouted a ridiculous amount of misinformation because of dogmatic powerlifters and fake natties. This guy didn't get that big because hes natty, doesn't have amazing genetics, and he needs to get even stronger. People like to use examples of guys that have the best genetics for powerlifting and relative strength as examples that low reps build way less muscle. Guys don't realize that people like Richard Hawthorne mostly make neural gains with minimal size gain entirely because of their genetics. Hawthorne does 10x10 for volume work on his lifts yet still doesn't gain a lot of size. AND guys like you still think that if he did some "bodybuilding" program that he'd blow up somehow. Total horseshit. I used to think this too but later saw all the bullshit.

Agreed. People with no knowledge often confuse the two to go together, in reality they don't. Strength is a different type of hypertrophy (myofibril) than body building (sarcoplasmic). Size often comes from lifting lighter weights in higher reps, which body builders do and strength comes from heavier weights at lower reps, also known as powerlifting. Powerlifting makes the muscle denser as opposed to bigger. That's why the strongest of people always look like "they never lift" because they don't fit your image of a "big strong guy"

Be happy you can do that, some people can't lift half! Seriously. And remember the increase in strength takes Tiiiime. If I'd be you, I'd try figuring out where your biggest weakness is. Most most likely it's the ass and/our outer hips. Even a good warmup is extremely efficient in firing up these areas to give more leverage. But try implementing asslifts i.e. bridges with a barbell and weights, perhaps at the end of the deadlift day. E.g. on your deadlift day, do 8x bridge butt lifts with olympic barbell + 10 kg x 8 and really focus on butt and outer hips. Using a good rubber band around the knees while doing this increases the chances of doing it perfect cause you have to "squeeze outwards". Good luck mate

Thanks for sharing - would love to hear a 5 year update! All the best!

Nice progress man! I appreciate your persistency and sticking to the program.

Ive just started ICF 5x5 2 weeks ago. Squat: 80kg Deads:100kg Bench:72.5kg Overhead:45kg Row:60kg All for 5x5. Im hoping in 8 months ill put on some decent size as im doing the routine for muscle gains, no disrespect but i'd expect you to look a bit bigger than you do after all that time and with such impressive lifts

Hey man awesome progress.. i know this video is 4 years old and idk how much u progressed in that time but I’m 1 month into the program and absolutely loving it. It feels good to finally have 45s on the bar. I would love to pick ur brain a little bit if you read this message.

Hello Colby, did you do any other exercicies like dumbell press, pull ups, abs or core workout? Or just those 3 exercices the training day?

Good job bud! Keep on grinding! Never stop and always believe in yourself!

Very good realistic no bull shit video. Weak bench press you look like you have a lot more potential on that but you used pure strength and I respect that. Nice job.

Ive been doing a 5x5 for a little over a year and these are my results, starting bodyweight 130lbs: BP 90lbs: Squat 115: DL 135. Current bodyweight 165lbs: BP 210: Squat 225: Deadlift 300. And that was with a 4 month back injury so i couldnt squat or deadlift for that time
