Aye Pee Hitching is when you bring the legs under the bar and lift with the legs rather than the back, it kind of looks like you`re humping the bar lol. Type "hitching a deadlift" into TH-cam and you"ll see examples.
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.
For people calling him on how he looks, he can lift more than I can and I look massive, bodybuilding and strength training are different. He actually can lift, whereas I just look like I can lift. Don't judge a book by its cover, I'm impressed with the numbers he is putting up, especially for his lighter weight, and muscle mass
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.
You don't look like you can lift/squat half of what you can. Impressive. Kind of cool too. Everyone assumes you're weak, then you casually squat 315 lbs...
UnknownXV I agree it has its uses such as allowing people to increase their lifts and transfer the numbers to lifting heavier in hypertrophy based programs. But people shouldnt expect to get massive from this...
Anon mous Agreed. Volume isn't quite high enough. But still, it makes sense to start here, if you're stronger, you can lift more volume when going for hypertrophy. I'm on the program so I am a bit biased but I am liking it a lot.
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
Pim Vd Steeg Exactly. You'll be able to do higher weight reps, with the same number of total reps as before, but with more weight. so yeah, more total weight moved = bigger beautiful muscle. Good stuff.
It's amazing relative to his other lifts. The squats are decent but a 150 overhead press and a 205 bench press don't really make sense next to eachother haha
Nice work man. This is the real improvements that most people skip over because they’re looking at silliness from celebrity workouts or inconsistent trends. Very attainable, very real, and most importantly, solid gains. 8 months sounds short but that is a long time to stick with a program for most people, so well done.
They are on the high side of average, but not all that high. His starting over head press was most impressive to me since that is a lift that I am struggling with. However when I first started all of my other lifts were higher.
Random Onzin I agree but I just getting back into lifting again and arms r something that stay sore for me so I usually have to build up working them to the same intensity as before.
If you squat heavy, you'll realise that it counts as arms day. no, it doesn't, if you want big arms work your phukking arms, enough with this "compounds are enough for arms" meme
3 things earn the respect in this video ... 1) respect the depth of that squat 2)respect that shoes no frills straight to kill the squat 3) absolutely nice music imo lift hard lift strong brother !!!👍👍👍
Butt wink isn't necessarily bad, but if it's putting someone in a weak position or making the lift harder it's too be avoided, however everyone's body is different.
Charles Li Ummm, those aren't flat souled... Do you not know anything about squat shoes? have you even wore one? They come with a arch inside of the shoe and have flat bottoms for stability. That's a squat/deadlift shoe.
Lol, have you tried to set a PR on bench press without a spotter? I do, and I can tell Ariel is right, you can't give it all because if you push yourself 2 extra kg you could end killed under the barbell.
***** I think there is good reason for it. Its shows how you are progressing with your lifting. I will go for a 1rm every other week, no injuries whatsoever.
***** Rubbish, Plenty of experts have acknowledged the importance of a 1rm, due to the sheer intensity. I work out mostly at home so I don't get your point on public guys or any of that. What is the harm of performing to a level you are capable of doing? Yeah, lol. I'm just gonna use math! Ok, Ill deadlift 100 reps with fuck all weight so You do the math and a 1 rep max will be 500 pounds, not a good theory u have my friend. Thats the problem with too mnany gym rats these days. They all want to be big and strong but they dont wanna lift heavy weights. Stick to your calf raises. Also, I have been working out for 25 years + and have had two injuries in that time, yep, once doing chest flys! and the other leg presses, not ONE deadlifting or squatting
***** No, sorry. Why the hell would I lie? I have never had an injury doing 1rmaxes and I 1rm on deads every other week. Maybe that's why? I dunno. All I can tell you is I had more injuries bodybuilding with lighter weights and more reps. The leg press one was silly as I was gripping the handles using suck force I pulled my clavicles out . Lol , so essentially I injured my shoulders doing legs! And the Flyes ended up straining my neeck near the collar bone. I just remember anther one. Incline benches in the 199s. I injured my shouder(strain) I was too inclined.
Semper Fidelis Plenty of volume for beginners powerlifting. I think you maybe talking about bodybuilding when you are talking hypertrophy. The way I see it is, do powerlifting or bodybuilding. It's also been well proven now that hypertrophy can be achieved through low intense reps and high sets.
***** Ah yes well i do probably something in between, maybe power building is the right term? I focus on the main lifts (compounds) to go up but also physique improvement - and that is best achieved with some higher reps in my opinion, because you can focus a lot more on the muscle with 10 reps and pumping blood into it than you could do with 3 or 4 reps :) each to their own i guess ;)
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..
Jan Christensen I found with strength training, you also need hypertrophy exercises to grow.Build the foundation with componds but throw in 20% of iso/high rep exercises.
rule of thumb for heavy lifting bodybuilding sytle is 4 to 5 sets of 5 to 8 reps , 80 to 85 percent of your max weight. and you slowly progress. powerlifting might have a different view on this but this actually works 100 percent.
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!
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.
CH7 You usually have to gain weight to improve bench press significantly, so eat more. Also bench just uses smaller muscle groups, so it's going to be harder.
I plateaued at a 125lb bench for about 2 months because i did the same thing every time. 3 sets of 8-12. A month ago, i started up a seperate chest day where i benched heavier weight for 5 sets for 3-5 reps. Now i'm at a 155 1rm, which isnt crazy, but it helped me move forward.
When you squats 3 times a week it takes a big toll on the nervous system. So when your trying to bench press in the middle of your workout your already sapped from squatting. This is the problem with 5x5
A bit late, but maybe your triceps are being used to much when you bench. Try some pre-fatigue by doing a small triceps workout before your chest workout. You're gonna drop your weights a lot but your chest is gonna be the only muscle working.
Been on a similar journey my friend. Really enjoyed the realism here rather than the usual over exaggeration found on TH-cam. Much respect from the UK. Keep going. Subscribed.
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
Goon Squad I'm similar to you in reguards to bodyweight and strength. I will be following Buff dudes 5x5 full body workout and then move onto hypertrophy training
oaksterdam everyone can deadlift like 100kg day 1 at least. Day one I could only squat 20kg for 5x5 but I still deadlifted 100kg for a few reps. Yeah my form sucked but even when I fixed it I could still deadlift over 100kg. My brother did 130kg day 1, other brother did 120kg. My cousin did 100kg. Everyone I know basically could do 100kg+ day 1.
When i was a freshman in high school, i maxed out on deadlifts with 365 lbs. This was the first time i ever deadlifted, so my form was total shit and I counted it lol but regardless, it was still 365 for the first time I ever deadlifted. Everyone's different
Generally unless you have being working on the form for a while and building up the weight your 1RM was most likely a cheat rep that was dangerous as fuck.
Strength gains and muscles gains are different.This guy squats heavy af.Respect that but doest mean his legs is bigger and ripped.Some dude squat very light with a huge legs gains.Its all depending on your goals,diet,workout plan,recovery.Look at mma fighter leg,not really big/ripped but one leg kick can put you 6 feet on the ground.
kicking has nothing to do with how ripped your legs are. you kick with your hips，using your legs like a baseball bat. if your legs are heavy you'll kick harder based on your speed. talking about muay thai/mma kicks.
Naza Kia you can't drastically increase strength without building new muscle. so he would have to have had muscle "gains". your post gives everyone cancer.
If you want to look better and get bigger, you should get strong first. You can go ahead and waste your time with bodybuilding splits to get puffy AFTER you've built a good base of strength.
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.
props for the legit max lifts. butt was on the bench on the bench press, didn't bounce. squat depth was great. your knees came together which is bad and is only gona cause injury just fyi. you could tweak your squat form a little but still very nice. and you didn't hitch the deadlift. solid lifts. good job.
Bruh, How did u get ur squat so strong? It's like the only lift that I just can't get any strength in. I can bench around 225, deadlift 315 and my squat is like 225 it's pitiful. I try to push myself hard on squat, but I mildly injured my back last time it healed up in like 2 days.
Bro, u can start watching videos of Alan Thrall, Austin Baraki and Chris Duffin at supertraining06 demostrating how to squat. But reading Starting Strenght is what i found to give me a huge leap forward in squatting. I went from squatting 115 for 2 times (estimated 1rm around 120 kg) to 115 for 5 sets of 5 (estimated 1rm around 140) in 4 weeks, while doing a physically demanding job having not so much energy to put into it. You can easily find the book as free download ;). Be very careful with your back, i spent over a year recovering from a disk herniation and i'm telling you, it's been a hell... On that regard, look for dr Stuart mcGill books and videos online. Good luck, i wish someone would have told me this stuff a long time ago...
I found an issue in my technique where I was basically just letting myself drop down and trying to bounce out of the bottom. Now I lower myself down using my hip flexors and my squat is around 260 now. I did 185 x 8 last chest day on bench, so my bench is about the same.
The thing is i hve been doing this from a long time.all of the barrbell excersises.lunges,squats,bulgarian squats,bent over row,bicep curls,military press frontside n back.bench press inclined declined close grip.Each n every one of dumbells excersises usualy i trained 6 sets everyday.each day i trained like one biceps triceps another day shoulders n then chest i did 6 diff sets of excersises for each mucle group legs day back day shoulder day.lemme tell u wht i achieved only using barbells,dumbells,n weights.i didnt acheived lot of muscle but i acheived super strength in me.i did this for couple of months excersing 3 to 4 days a week.result is ul acheive damm gud power n strength.but u wont acheive muscle mass like u see guys working out in gym over machines.im not doing anything right now from over a month now but now il start going to gym earlier i use to do workout at home now il go to gym n workout over there with machines to gain more muscle mass n size.its simple if u want raw power n strength u do this 5×5 or more than 5×5 at home specialy if u dont hve much time like me due to work,job or business.but if u want muscles with size u go to gym.
I loved thesr 5×5 type of workout n i even did a lot more than 5×5 but i acheived raw strength n power not much muscle a lil bit of it.my bro use to say to me u do workout all the time but u dont hve a physique like guys goin to gym.so its ur choice what u want.u like gym freak kinda physique or u want raw strength n more power in you.il see wht gym does to me as i hve left doing workout from over a month now my muscle tht i got are gone most of it but not all of it i dunno abt strength n power right now il see whn il start doin workout in gym from over 25 days i havent touched any kinda workout thing.tommorow im goin to gym n il see wht i hve left in me.
its a reason why 5x5 is so effective. its because its a full body routine. this just comes to show that full body is the most effective way to train for anyone; beginner, intermediate and advanced. i've been training for almost 3 years now, and even to this day i will say no program delivers better results than full body training. so yeah, GO 5x5!
squatting and pressing on the same day is no problem. seriously? so what if George Leeman never used full body programs, are you just gonna follow one man based on that one man's experience? and about the squatting and pressing on the same day, its all about volume and intensity, you dont go balls to the wall on all exercises anyway. press with volume and squat with intensity, or the other way around.
Mike Tuchscherer uses full body routines, Ben Rice too uses full body. There are many ways to train as an elite athlete, and full body does get used all the time. Sheiko based program's use full body routines, he even prescribes advanced level athletes that he coaches to do FB (just more volume based). So don't disregard it just because someone you look up to des something different. Who cares what George Leeman does? He's not you. If you keep with that one track mind set, you can't expect to make that much progress. Keep an open mind
i dont really give a fuck what elite lifters do, im not an elite lifter myself, and do not intend to become one. you are clearly a victim of steroid using ''professionals'' who try to shove their bro science and bro splits down your throat, instead of following your own experiences and do what works for you. the old school bodybuilders always trained full body, and the natural bodybuilder leroy colbert built 21 inch biceps doing full body workouts, but thats actually besides the point. as for me, i do what works for me, and full body works best for me. do you have anything else to spew at me in your so far failed attempts to convince me your bro science works best, or is this conversation over?
well, i said full body was best, not neccesarily 5x5. and yes, i am a newb. i've only been working out for about 4 years now. and in those 4 years i've experienced best results from doing full body. so if you want me to change my mind just because you say otherwise, then your the moron. your just spewing out shit that others say and do, instead of sharing experience and things working out for you. do you honestly think im gonna recomend stuff that didnt work for me? i dont know, maybe bro splits works for you, but you've mentioned no such thing, your just spewing alot of shit and not making any real arguments. but then again, i probably don't either, so lets just say you stick to your bodybuilding magazines and i stick to what i do. mkay?
In all seriousness, forgive me. i meant to write 3, not 4. it was an honest mistake and i stand for that. first of all, i dont blindly follow what others do. i trust in my own personal experience, as i've mentioned so countless many times. and you do realise there are other leg exercises than the squat, right? and yes maybe your right, leroy colbert was on steroids, but it doesnt matter now. and no, i will not admit im wrong, because im not wrong. and in regards to the CNS statement you mentioned: i agree. you can't put it throu that much stress. this is why its even more important to constantly change things in your routine. dont do the same thing over and over again. THIS is what creates pattern overload. THIS is what causes overtraining. and you seem to be under the impression that every workout must be a bone breaker, a new day for new PR's and high intensity with 2% of your 1RM. but if you alternate the intensity, volume, exercises and so on, you'll be fine doing full body, even as an advanced lifter. there are full body programs out there for advanced lifters, you know that right? and one more thing; go check out some of leroy colbert's videos, see with how much passion he speaks of full body routines. im not done. i can tell you know your shit. because the stuff you say makes sence. and i respect that. but you have, like i said earlier, not mentioned ONCE: 1. your own personal experiences. 2. what you recomend. 3. how long you've been trainig 4. or even how you train now. all your doing, is so desperately trying to make me look like a dumbass by saying full body routine is not good for advanced lifters, when im saying the people you follow are steroid-pumped bodybuilder bro-sciencers. understand that your body dont understand the difference between a fuckin' split routine and full body routine. your body understands stress, and responds to it by breaking down and growing. do you even know how full body training works? obviously not, because if you did, you'd probably not hate it that much. let me break it down for you: 3 days a week. day 1: squats, pullups, overhead press. day 2: walking lunges, dips and deadlifts. just an example. day 3 is like day 1, etc. nothing fancy, but its basic and it works. and yes, i have been training for 3 years, not 4. it was my mistake. can you get over that? or are you gonna continue labeling me as a troll and keep spewing more useless shit? im waiting in exitement for your next comeback. your getting better. what's next, brother? :) one last thing, then its your turn. a bit of friendly advice. start trusting yourself a little more. your so desperate to promote others and their work and accomplishements, im starting to think you have all the theory knowledge, but no personal knowledge. understand this too: that every program, every expert, everyone you've ever learned from, no matter how scientifficaly correct it sounds, is mostly, if not completely, based around their personal experience and their accomplishements. i can share with you mine: i went from a skinny-fat, short dude weighing about 73 kg, unable to do a single pullup, deadlifting only 60 kg, to a 80 kg guy, deadlifting 150 kg and doing 10-13 pullups, and that shit did not happen until i started my full body routine. ok, now im done. your turn
Impressive lifts man! The only criticism is the sumo deadlift you started rounding slightly on your back. It gets to be dangerous when that happens. Keep that in mind otherwise those are all great lifts with great progress.
5x5 and candito are great, definitley reccomend these for beginners. 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)
+Baber Barbell I just passed my first month of weight training and I'm up to a 425 lb sumo deadlift. my bench is only at 195 lbs that one is slow but its getting there and tonight I hit a 385 lb squat on my 7th set for one rep. ive never felt so focused and motivated
+abdlla hash Diet is around 80% of getting bigger. Don't kid yourself into thinking a routine will do anything but put stress on your body. Its how you recover which will increase mass.
+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.
Those are really good gains for a small guy like yourself, obviously if you were like 6"2 200+lbs those gains could be archieved much faster, but you made some sick progress there
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
I love your video. Very professional in every way. I enjoyed the text data mixed with your lifting reps. It wasn't too long and I didn't have to listen to some "echotistic bodybuilder" talk about how awesome he is! Lol. Keep up the good work.
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
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.
Screw the haters, be proud. Most people commenting and being negative can't keep to a training protocol long enough to respect your effort. Kudos to you sir.
***** But that's pure bullshit, you can look great if you do a BB routine. I know, because I did it. And I'm hugely against all drugs including roids. Going down the compound line, you will eternally look like a DYEL. Unfortunately
@@sumnik852 Shut up, bodybuilding is for pussies who care about looks lmao, being actually strong is much better than just looking strong. Muscle comes by itself anyway. Once you have a 315x5 bench you will look buff.
I wish I had a 24/7 gym like that where I live...Small town. The gyms that are here don't allow power lifting. So I gotta set something up in my drive way.
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. TH-cam 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"
This dude is strong af for his size. I'm about this guy's exact size and I can only Squat like 180, Bench 185 and Deadlift 265, my overhead is about only 95 pounds.
+Baber Barbell It is actually easier whether there are records or not. Conventional is with lower back sumo is with your legs. You tell me which is stronger.
Long limbs short torso = Convential Short limbs long torso = Sumo Levers are different for everyone. Also you can really apply linear progression that StrongLifts 5x5 calls for for any compound lift and expect similar results.
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
Open Up To The World I'll give it a shot. I've got weights at home. Believe it or not after doing my first 5x5 with that 110 lbs l got hemorrhoids the next day and was out for pretty much until right now. I don't understand how I'll lift heavy with my butt doing that crap. I wasn't straining half as much as this guy was. :/
Good depth on the squat, no ass lift on the bench and no hitch on the deadlift.
Well done, legit gains.
Aye Pee
Hitching is when you bring the legs under the bar and lift with the legs rather than the back, it kind of looks like you`re humping the bar lol. Type "hitching a deadlift" into TH-cam and you"ll see examples.
agree the deadlift is not a squat but you have to drive from your legs(hammies) 1st. This looked a little bit low on starting.
Yeah hitching is never good. Lighten the load until you can form up I say. ego is a shitty thing when you pwerlift
pulling sumo tho
Aye Pee, Lord Potator
Yeah good point, I don`t think it`s really possible on the sumo to hitch.
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.
Your squat went lower than my grades in calculus
This got my rolling on the floor
Looool
Damn.... that's low
Wild not doing any of these with a spotter. Felt kind of anxious for you during that squat PR. Congrats on the amazing progress
No belt
No straps
No chalk
No spotter
And ass to grass squats!
Respect man!
shows that you dont need anything fancy to get fit lol
he used chalk though
Why is it respectable to not use a spotter? Do u even lift bro?
He used a sumo deadlift, though, which is worse than any of the things you listed.

You don't look like you can lift/squat half of what you can. Impressive. Kind of cool too. Everyone assumes you're weak, then you casually squat 315 lbs...
That sums up 5x5 in a nutshell...good strength gains but you look the same aesthetically. Any gains are from increasing calories which it suggests.

Anon mous Agreed. Volume isn't quite high enough. But still, it makes sense to start here, if you're stronger, you can lift more volume when going for hypertrophy.
I'm on the program so I am a bit biased but I am liking it a lot.
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
Pim Vd Steeg Exactly. You'll be able to do higher weight reps, with the same number of total reps as before, but with more weight. so yeah, more total weight moved = bigger beautiful muscle. Good stuff.
Nice progress
Your overhead press is really amazing, I hope to get there.
Semos1000 its not amazing, i think he is a great squatter though
It's amazing relative to his other lifts. The squats are decent but a 150 overhead press and a 205 bench press don't really make sense next to eachother haha
My overhead press 1RM is 90% of my bench press 1RM. God tier shoulder genes I guess.
@@kgsvvgla2i nah your bench just sucks. Try benching more often
@@enrapturedgoose5317 lmao stfu
Congrats bro hella gains
Nice work man. This is the real improvements that most people skip over because they’re looking at silliness from celebrity workouts or inconsistent trends. Very attainable, very real, and most importantly, solid gains. 8 months sounds short but that is a long time to stick with a program for most people, so well done.
Nice video!
For someone without lifting experience, your lifts were quite strong to begin with. Anyways, great progress in 8 months! And nice ATG squats.
Hey man check out my 5x5 channel - just started!
Ben Cooper Ikr ? 104 squat with no previous training ? Kinda demotivating for me
Kankerdick Lemur pretty sure he said the 'starting' one rep max's were estimated and most likely overestimated so don't worry haha
Ben Probably not lol. Those lifts are nothing special
They are on the high side of average, but not all that high. His starting over head press was most impressive to me since that is a lift that I am struggling with. However when I first started all of my other lifts were higher.
Nice job man those squats are cleeean
0:49 your feet line up exactly with the music
Andrew Carey 😂
well done. great effort.
895 total, nice for 8 months
thats great progress man.
First person I've seen that skips arm day
since I've changed to powerlifting I pretty much ignore the arms. Prob due to being on a long break and everything gets sore so easily :(.
Random Onzin I agree but I just getting back into lifting again and arms r something that stay sore for me so I usually have to build up working them to the same intensity as before.
Random Onzin plus for some reason my biceps rarely get stronger . Defo need to work them more though
If you deadlift heavy, you will realize it counts as arms day.
If you squat heavy, you'll realise that it counts as arms day.
no, it doesn't, if you want big arms work your phukking arms, enough with this "compounds are enough for arms" meme
Gj man thats some crazy progress
3 things earn the respect in this video ...
1) respect the depth of that squat
2)respect that shoes no frills straight to kill the squat
3) absolutely nice music imo
lift hard lift strong brother !!!👍👍👍
True true. He has major "butt wink" because og most likely poor hamstring flex though.. When squatting that is
Christian Hansen well that certainly can be worked on accessory days 😊
Butt wink isn't necessarily bad, but if it's putting someone in a weak position or making the lift harder it's too be avoided, however everyone's body is different.
Depth on the squat got my respect no half rep bullshit
i was waiting for the ZEROO,but he actually did a full rep.Gained my respect.
Great job man
you should try deadlifting in flat soled shoes, makes a big difference
papa lenin indeed less on the ball of the foot and more focus on the heel
papa lenin dude... those are squatting shoes... or I'm just high.
Drew LoConte squat shoes aren't flat soled
Charles Li Ummm, those aren't flat souled... Do you not know anything about squat shoes? have you even wore one? They come with a arch inside of the shoe and have flat bottoms for stability. That's a squat/deadlift shoe.
lol Soled**
Well done mate
your one rep max could probably be a bit higher if you had a spotter, because you have a security blanket and can go all out
Lol, have you tried to set a PR on bench press without a spotter? I do, and I can tell Ariel is right, you can't give it all because if you push yourself 2 extra kg you could end killed under the barbell.
I prefer to do it without a spotter these days too. I find they never seem to let you lift as hard as you can.
***** I think there is good reason for it. Its shows how you are progressing with your lifting. I will go for a 1rm every other week, no injuries whatsoever.
***** Rubbish, Plenty of experts have acknowledged the importance of a 1rm, due to the sheer intensity. I work out mostly at home so I don't get your point on public guys or any of that. What is the harm of performing to a level you are capable of doing? Yeah, lol. I'm just gonna use math! Ok, Ill deadlift 100 reps with fuck all weight so You do the math and a 1 rep max will be 500 pounds, not a good theory u have my friend. Thats the problem with too mnany gym rats these days. They all want to be big and strong but they dont wanna lift heavy weights. Stick to your calf raises. Also, I have been working out for 25 years + and have had two injuries in that time, yep, once doing chest flys! and the other leg presses, not ONE deadlifting or squatting
***** No, sorry. Why the hell would I lie? I have never had an injury doing 1rmaxes and I 1rm on deads every other week. Maybe that's why? I dunno. All I can tell you is I had more injuries bodybuilding with lighter weights and more reps. The leg press one was silly as I was gripping the handles using suck force I pulled my clavicles out . Lol , so essentially I injured my shoulders doing legs! And the Flyes ended up straining my neeck near the collar bone. I just remember anther one. Incline benches in the 199s. I injured my shouder(strain) I was too inclined.
Very solid lifts bro. We're the same weight working through stronglifts I'm gonna sub and follow your progress.
Check out my channel. I've only been back at it for a month. Had a back injury which set me back for a few months.
No hate here,but i have to admit,every other 5x5 transformation i see,has very little muscle development.Strength of course goes through the roof.
well it is simply not enough volume - if you combine 5x5 with some more hypertrophy based exercises and isolations, that seems most optimal :)
Semper Fidelis Plenty of volume for beginners powerlifting. I think you maybe talking about bodybuilding when you are talking hypertrophy. The way I see it is, do powerlifting or bodybuilding. It's also been well proven now that hypertrophy can be achieved through low intense reps and high sets.
***** Ah yes well i do probably something in between, maybe power building is the right term? I focus on the main lifts (compounds) to go up but also physique improvement - and that is best achieved with some higher reps in my opinion, because you can focus a lot more on the muscle with 10 reps and pumping blood into it than you could do with 3 or 4 reps :) each to their own i guess ;)
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..
Jan Christensen I found with strength training, you also need hypertrophy exercises to grow.Build the foundation with componds but throw in 20% of iso/high rep exercises.
rule of thumb for heavy lifting bodybuilding sytle is 4 to 5 sets of 5 to 8 reps , 80 to 85 percent of your max weight. and you slowly progress. powerlifting might have a different view on this but this actually works 100 percent.
Extremely well done, a brilliant achievement showing hard work and dedication pays off. You should be proud of yourself 👍🏽
Nice job sir!
I started with a 1max of benchpress 50kg
After 9/10 months i got the 100kg 💪 (im 18)
Impressive
Jim the 21st how did u get it ? progressive overload ?
@@Haroooon_ what i wanna know
and was it 5x5 your were on? if not what program?
JDEE most likely he did. Guess I need to find my 1RPM and work from there
Good job. StrongLifts is a good program. The most success I ever had was on StrongLifts
Well done! I respect the honest/realistic progress. Takes some true dedication right there man
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!
Where is the rowing ?
Anyway, it's nice to see people doing the strong lifts.
no one brags about how much they can row lol
Lol thats true. Great carry over lift though.
Marco Stott unless you are Eric bugenhagen
rows are actually considered an accessory in the 5x5 programs even though theyre treated closer to a main lift 🤔
Rows and overhead presses are by far the hardest in 5x5 imo. I stall them around every twice workout now.
Awesome work, and great video. Thanks mate.
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.
Lol same here.
CH7 You usually have to gain weight to improve bench press significantly, so eat more. Also bench just uses smaller muscle groups, so it's going to be harder.
I plateaued at a 125lb bench for about 2 months because i did the same thing every time. 3 sets of 8-12. A month ago, i started up a seperate chest day where i benched heavier weight for 5 sets for 3-5 reps. Now i'm at a 155 1rm, which isnt crazy, but it helped me move forward.
When you squats 3 times a week it takes a big toll on the nervous system. So when your trying to bench press in the middle of your workout your already sapped from squatting. This is the problem with 5x5
A bit late, but maybe your triceps are being used to much when you bench. Try some pre-fatigue by doing a small triceps workout before your chest workout. You're gonna drop your weights a lot but your chest is gonna be the only muscle working.
0:14 no soul (ginger) hilarious. Oh and great progress my man
Good job man
Been on a similar journey my friend. Really enjoyed the realism here rather than the usual over exaggeration found on TH-cam. Much respect from the UK. Keep going. Subscribed.
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
Goon Squad I'm similar to you in reguards to bodyweight and strength. I will be following Buff dudes 5x5 full body workout and then move onto hypertrophy training
Dude, I hope you know as I'm watching you perform 1RM lifts, I was cheering for you to get it.
Me too💪💪
Good progress
Squat form is beautiful
No previous lifting and you estimate that you can deadlift 120 kg? Wtf.
+Vural Mecbur
My friend was able to deadlift 100kg the first time he ever deadlifted, so I mean its not impossible.
oaksterdam everyone can deadlift like 100kg day 1 at least. Day one I could only squat 20kg for 5x5 but I still deadlifted 100kg for a few reps. Yeah my form sucked but even when I fixed it I could still deadlift over 100kg.
My brother did 130kg day 1, other brother did 120kg. My cousin did 100kg. Everyone I know basically could do 100kg+ day 1.
When i was a freshman in high school, i maxed out on deadlifts with 365 lbs. This was the first time i ever deadlifted, so my form was total shit and I counted it lol but regardless, it was still 365 for the first time I ever deadlifted. Everyone's different
Generally unless you have being working on the form for a while and building up the weight your 1RM was most likely a cheat rep that was dangerous as fuck.
+Isaac
you moved 365 but 365 wasnt your 1 rep max, I'd say it was 300lb
Thanks for putting KG
Strength gains and muscles gains are different.This guy squats heavy af.Respect that but doest mean his legs is bigger and ripped.Some dude squat very light with a huge legs gains.Its all depending on your goals,diet,workout plan,recovery.Look at mma fighter leg,not really big/ripped but one leg kick can put you 6 feet on the ground.
Naza Kia if he did high bar he would have bigger legs. High bar = big quads.
Follow my 5x5 journey on my channel :)
kicking has nothing to do with how ripped your legs are. you kick with your hips，using your legs like a baseball bat. if your legs are heavy you'll kick harder based on your speed. talking about muay thai/mma kicks.
Naza Kia you can't drastically increase strength without building new muscle. so he would have to have had muscle "gains". your post gives everyone cancer.
Roger Welch you read that on bodybuilding dot com? Jesus... the shit people say.
thanks for putting kg numbers in!
So Kinobody was wrong when he said muscle is a byproduct of strength.
Kinobody is terrible don't listen to him
If you want to look better and get bigger, you should get strong first. You can go ahead and waste your time with bodybuilding splits to get puffy AFTER you've built a good base of strength.
@@abstractdaddy1384This kid is still tiny though.
No bullshit, straight up good gains!
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.
Well done mate. Good stuff.
You should incorporate bodybuilders style workouts to actually promote some muscle growth it will help for the power lifting long term
props for the legit max lifts. butt was on the bench on the bench press, didn't bounce. squat depth was great. your knees came together which is bad and is only gona cause injury just fyi. you could tweak your squat form a little but still very nice. and you didn't hitch the deadlift. solid lifts. good job.
Bruh, How did u get ur squat so strong? It's like the only lift that I just can't get any strength in. I can bench around 225, deadlift 315 and my squat is like 225 it's pitiful. I try to push myself hard on squat, but I mildly injured my back last time it healed up in like 2 days.
Bro, u can start watching videos of Alan Thrall, Austin Baraki and Chris Duffin at supertraining06 demostrating how to squat. But reading Starting Strenght is what i found to give me a huge leap forward in squatting. I went from squatting 115 for 2 times (estimated 1rm around 120 kg) to 115 for 5 sets of 5 (estimated 1rm around 140) in 4 weeks, while doing a physically demanding job having not so much energy to put into it. You can easily find the book as free download ;). Be very careful with your back, i spent over a year recovering from a disk herniation and i'm telling you, it's been a hell... On that regard, look for dr Stuart mcGill books and videos online. Good luck, i wish someone would have told me this stuff a long time ago...
How do you bench 225 but only squat 225? wtf? Are you even following the program as written or did you take out the squats or what
I found an issue in my technique where I was basically just letting myself drop down and trying to bounce out of the bottom. Now I lower myself down using my hip flexors and my squat is around 260 now. I did 185 x 8 last chest day on bench, so my bench is about the same.
The thing is i hve been doing this from a long time.all of the barrbell excersises.lunges,squats,bulgarian squats,bent over row,bicep curls,military press frontside n back.bench press inclined declined close grip.Each n every one of dumbells excersises usualy i trained 6 sets everyday.each day i trained like one biceps triceps another day shoulders n then chest i did 6 diff sets of excersises for each mucle group legs day back day shoulder day.lemme tell u wht i achieved only using barbells,dumbells,n weights.i didnt acheived lot of muscle but i acheived super strength in me.i did this for couple of months excersing 3 to 4 days a week.result is ul acheive damm gud power n strength.but u wont acheive muscle mass like u see guys working out in gym over machines.im not doing anything right now from over a month now but now il start going to gym earlier i use to do workout at home now il go to gym n workout over there with machines to gain more muscle mass n size.its simple if u want raw power n strength u do this 5×5 or more than 5×5 at home specialy if u dont hve much time like me due to work,job or business.but if u want muscles with size u go to gym.
I loved thesr 5×5 type of workout n i even did a lot more than 5×5 but i acheived raw strength n power not much muscle a lil bit of it.my bro use to say to me u do workout all the time but u dont hve a physique like guys goin to gym.so its ur choice what u want.u like gym freak kinda physique or u want raw strength n more power in you.il see wht gym does to me as i hve left doing workout from over a month now my muscle tht i got are gone most of it but not all of it i dunno abt strength n power right now il see whn il start doin workout in gym from over 25 days i havent touched any kinda workout thing.tommorow im goin to gym n il see wht i hve left in me.
"No soul" (ginger) I'm 100% subscribing for that lol
its a reason why 5x5 is so effective. its because its a full body routine. this just comes to show that full body is the most effective way to train for anyone; beginner, intermediate and advanced. i've been training for almost 3 years now, and even to this day i will say no program delivers better results than full body training. so yeah, GO 5x5!
squatting and pressing on the same day is no problem. seriously? so what if George Leeman never used full body programs, are you just gonna follow one man based on that one man's experience?
and about the squatting and pressing on the same day, its all about volume and intensity, you dont go balls to the wall on all exercises anyway. press with volume and squat with intensity, or the other way around.
Mike Tuchscherer uses full body routines, Ben Rice too uses full body. There are many ways to train as an elite athlete, and full body does get used all the time. Sheiko based program's use full body routines, he even prescribes advanced level athletes that he coaches to do FB (just more volume based). So don't disregard it just because someone you look up to des something different. Who cares what George Leeman does? He's not you. If you keep with that one track mind set, you can't expect to make that much progress. Keep an open mind
i dont really give a fuck what elite lifters do, im not an elite lifter myself, and do not intend to become one. you are clearly a victim of steroid using ''professionals'' who try to shove their bro science and bro splits down your throat, instead of following your own experiences and do what works for you. the old school bodybuilders always trained full body, and the natural bodybuilder leroy colbert built 21 inch biceps doing full body workouts, but thats actually besides the point. as for me, i do what works for me, and full body works best for me.
do you have anything else to spew at me in your so far failed attempts to convince me your bro science works best, or is this conversation over?
well, i said full body was best, not neccesarily 5x5. and yes, i am a newb. i've only been working out for about 4 years now. and in those 4 years i've experienced best results from doing full body. so if you want me to change my mind just because you say otherwise, then your the moron.
your just spewing out shit that others say and do, instead of sharing experience and things working out for you.
do you honestly think im gonna recomend stuff that didnt work for me? i dont know, maybe bro splits works for you, but you've mentioned no such thing, your just spewing alot of shit and not making any real arguments.
but then again, i probably don't either, so lets just say you stick to your bodybuilding magazines and i stick to what i do. mkay?
In all seriousness, forgive me. i meant to write 3, not 4. it was an honest mistake and i stand for that.
first of all, i dont blindly follow what others do. i trust in my own personal experience, as i've mentioned so countless many times. and you do realise there are other leg exercises than the squat, right? and yes maybe your right, leroy colbert was on steroids, but it doesnt matter now. and no, i will not admit im wrong, because im not wrong.
and in regards to the CNS statement you mentioned: i agree. you can't put it throu that much stress. this is why its even more important to constantly change things in your routine. dont do the same thing over and over again. THIS is what creates pattern overload. THIS is what causes overtraining.
and you seem to be under the impression that every workout must be a bone breaker, a new day for new PR's and high intensity with 2% of your 1RM. but if you alternate the intensity, volume, exercises and so on, you'll be fine doing full body, even as an advanced lifter. there are full body programs out there for advanced lifters, you know that right?
and one more thing; go check out some of leroy colbert's videos, see with how much passion he speaks of full body routines.
im not done.
i can tell you know your shit. because the stuff you say makes sence. and i respect that. but you have, like i said earlier, not mentioned ONCE:
1. your own personal experiences.
2. what you recomend.
3. how long you've been trainig
4. or even how you train now.
all your doing, is so desperately trying to make me look like a dumbass by saying full body routine is not good for advanced lifters, when im saying the people you follow are steroid-pumped bodybuilder bro-sciencers. understand that your body dont understand the difference between a fuckin' split routine and full body routine. your body understands stress, and responds to it by breaking down and growing. do you even know how full body training works? obviously not, because if you did, you'd probably not hate it that much. let me break it down for you:
3 days a week. day 1: squats, pullups, overhead press. day 2: walking lunges, dips and deadlifts.
just an example. day 3 is like day 1, etc. nothing fancy, but its basic and it works.
and yes, i have been training for 3 years, not 4. it was my mistake. can you get over that? or are you gonna continue labeling me as a troll and keep spewing more useless shit?
im waiting in exitement for your next comeback. your getting better. what's next, brother? :)
one last thing, then its your turn. a bit of friendly advice. start trusting yourself a little more. your so desperate to promote others and their work and accomplishements, im starting to think you have all the theory knowledge, but no personal knowledge. understand this too: that every program, every expert, everyone you've ever learned from, no matter how scientifficaly correct it sounds, is mostly, if not completely, based around their personal experience and their accomplishements.
i can share with you mine: i went from a skinny-fat, short dude weighing about 73 kg, unable to do a single pullup, deadlifting only 60 kg, to a 80 kg guy, deadlifting 150 kg and doing 10-13 pullups, and that shit did not happen until i started my full body routine.
ok, now im done. your turn
Impressive lifts man! The only criticism is the sumo deadlift you started rounding slightly on your back. It gets to be dangerous when that happens. Keep that in mind otherwise those are all great lifts with great progress.
I cringed a bit at the deadlift, great depth in the squat made up for it
Alright Ed Coan it's not that bad.
great video
2:21 there is a McDonalds right outside your gym....that's tuff

Awesome work dude
5x5 and candito are great, definitley reccomend these for beginners. 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)

You can't triple your weight on something in 6 months I don't care who you are

+abdlla hash Diet is around 80% of getting bigger. Don't kid yourself into thinking a routine will do anything but put stress on your body. Its how you recover which will increase mass.
+Matt McPherson so you're saying building strength and gaining size are mutually exclusive?
+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.
Nicely done nicely done!
Those are really good gains for a small guy like yourself, obviously if you were like 6"2 200+lbs those gains could be archieved much faster, but you made some sick progress there
Don’t listen to the comments your giving it your all which will only lead to success
Am I missing something?
I thought 5x5s were 5 sets 5 reps............?
If not then I've been doing this wrong......
Cool beans. I was unsure.
+Radshack cool beans 👌yup
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
Great progress keep up the great work
I love your video. Very professional in every way. I enjoyed the text data mixed with your lifting reps. It wasn't too long and I didn't have to listen to some "echotistic bodybuilder" talk about how awesome he is! Lol. Keep up the good work.
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.

Good on you man!!
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.
Screw the haters, be proud. Most people commenting and being negative can't keep to a training protocol long enough to respect your effort. Kudos to you sir.
Thought it would be physical results..
Why so many dislikes? Lifts were legit and form was great.

cool and all but that's a sumo deadlift.
When you do a regular Deadlift you grab the bar outside your legs. You are grabbing the bar in between. That's called a sumo Deadlift
It's not my comment. Just watched your video and wanted to help you out :D just started SL and wanted to get an impression. Keep up the solid work!
dude looks like he doesn't even lift....
Rar Dar no one does after only 8 months... especially if hes training for strength
God aint real hombré not really legitimate what Ur saying there. You can't exclusively train for strength
stormspinner9000 singles, doubles, and triples are for strength.... That's all you get out of low reps like that...
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. TH-cam 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.
I said triples especially because OVERALL volume is easier to accumulate than with singles, not really because they are inherently better
Great form on everything and tbumbs up for KISS playing in the background.
Nice to see that power does not have to go along with gaining muscle mass.
Why is this nice to see?? ^^
Why not..?
That's 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"
Mohammad Yasir *cough* strongest guys dont look like they lift *cough* Larry Wheels *cough* Mark Bell *cough into obliviation*
From very weak to just weak. Great job man.
...And over 8 months everyone left your gym because you actually did bench inside the squat rack...
Keegan Carson nothing wrong with that if you don't have a spotter
Keegan Carson its a power rack not exclusively a squat rack
Keegan Carson at least it's not curls
well I would love to have an empty gym. Good to know this is the way to get people out.
Power rack. You try your 1RM bench, alone, without the safety bars.
This dude is strong af for his size. I'm about this guy's exact size and I can only Squat like 180, Bench 185 and Deadlift 265, my overhead is about only 95 pounds.
same situation same size with a 135 squat 193 bench 330 dl and 100 lb ohp :C
You do realize that you're doing a sumo deadlift and not a conventional deadlift like the StrongLifts program calls for?
+Baber Barbell It is actually easier whether there are records or not. Conventional is with lower back sumo is with your legs. You tell me which is stronger.
+GForceIntel isn't the style of deadlift linked with leverages? For me I'm more explosive using conventional.
+jamal azid You said it... easier. Fuck leverages.
GForceIntel can't say sumo is easier for everyone, I find it harder.
Long limbs short torso = Convential
Short limbs long torso = Sumo
Levers are different for everyone.
Also you can really apply linear progression that StrongLifts 5x5 calls for for any compound lift and expect similar results.
nice form on those squads bro
Meanwhile I'm squatting 110 lbs. I hate being so small and weak at 140lb 5'10. Curse you genetics..
Jeremy A try doong SS
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
Open Up To The World I'll give it a shot. I've got weights at home.
Believe it or not after doing my first 5x5 with that 110 lbs l got hemorrhoids the next day and was out for pretty much until right now. I don't understand how I'll lift heavy with my butt doing that crap. I wasn't straining half as much as this guy was. :/
Jeremy A Change your diet workout routine.
I went from a 90lbs squat to 180lbs for 5 so you'll be fine just keep pushing. My progress took 3 months btw.
Oh was very clean!
stop using squat shoes for deadlifts before you do an injury. flat shoes man, flat!
you should probably watch massthetics' video about deadlifting in oly shoes
Da Buddy Comtox i believe you are mistaking deadlifts with squats.
Baber Barbell It's pushing you way too far forward. Have another look.
The dude is strong for his size, and age, hard to believe he's pushing these weights
