Ok back with the 5x5!!! I know the weights are a little lower than last time i did it but that's because i feel like i rushed, went through it quickly, lost form a little. This time it's time to do it right! No rushing and keeping form! Feeling good about it.
Squat 155x5x5x5 165x5 170x5
Bench...
Thanks very much. And i hate to do this because it shows how new i am but how come when looking at the stronglifts it only shows 1 set of 5 deads instead of 5 like every thing else. Would it be a taxing issue?

Just one quick question about the 5x5. You have workout a and workout b. Obviously mon-wed-fri (ex workout a-workout b-workout a) but do you start with workout b on week 2 and just alternate them each week or just do the same workout exactly the same each week. I mean you'd be doing squats bench...
Well I've strayed for long enough. I can't believe how easy it can be to stray away from a strength program to "play" around with some new found strength lol thanks to everyone and especially this thread I'm going back to 5x5 for a while. I have goal that I'm determined to make! Ill come back...

Its a routine i found. It's just how it calls for the sets. Like you go heavy enough to just before failure to do the first 12 but too much to get another 12 so you drop it 2 reps and etc.... i felt the pump really nicely.
