I like 5x5 a lot. I end up hitting legs twice a workout three times a week :gladbron: I replaced the rows in workout A with romanian deadlifts, which kills two birds with one stone (1: I felt hammies didn't get enough work, but 2: still needed to hit lats hard).

If I didn't look like shyt and actually looked like I lifted, I would love to be a IG fitness dude. The amount of groupies they must have :wow:

And fitness groupies are probably the best groupies to have since they'd be in shape too. bytches with fat asses and actually have thighs to match. :wow:

Side note: wrestling groupies are called "ring rats." What are fitness groupies called? "Swole sluts"?

I ended up with a modified "5x5" myself...:mjlol: My ego couldn't go with the recommended SL starting squat weight at 190...:francis: My legs respond VERY well to being worked out 2+ times a week...Watched my old squat videos when I was doing 4 plates and studied my form...got my preferred foot width...which had been way too narrow. Was afraid of 315 a few weeks ago and now I'm back to 335 and did a few reps with ease.

I didn't know they had recommended numbers to start with

Yeah that have this calculator on the SL 5x5 app based on your 1RM or the Excel sheet...first 2 or 3 weeks usually have you with "light" weight to get your form down and get you adjusted for the volume. Experience lifters will get bored easily though.:francis:
