I purchased a dvd called magnificent mobility as a pre-rehab aid and it really helps to loosen up and activate your hips and well as giving you a broad range of dynamic stretches. Its a little expensive, about the equivalent of one otsteo visit.

Have you thought about on the light day doing heavier weights on your movements with the singles. Say another 5kg for bench and row and then going back to where you were on the Monday workout.

I put the floor presses or board press in with a close medium grip to emphasize the tris after the bench but rows are important too. It isnt that much more work than you've been doing your right but there is still a progression on your present workload that will ensure a higher weekly workload...

Have you thought about a setup like this by having 2 nights a week dedicated to a specific lift to try and improve the amount of weight you can lift. The first 2 days have a westside feel to them. A medium night and then another night where you set records for 3,2 or 1 rep. eg Mon Heavy Squat...

Hey AB, you have made some great progress. How much do you attribute your consistent increments on your front squat in carrying over to helping you keep progressing on your back squat. There has to be some noticeable development with your legs? as the new records your keep setting are impressive.

I just want to get strong and see how far I can go and maybe compete one day but I am still not that strong for my weight. I weigh 90kg My best box squat (12.5 inch)is 175 kg bench is 135 kg dead is 190 kg I have thought and read up about westside but wanted to get some "time under the bar" so...

Regarding the lockouts and floor press seeing that I am trying to emphasize my tris they should be done with a closer grip rather than normal bench width?

My Bench has Stalled. Today I tested my squat max and bench max. I have run 2 Dual Factor 5X5 in a row. My squat has gone from 160KG to 175KG in the past 4 months but my Bench has stalled at 135KG during the 2nd run of the 5x5. Today I tried 140kg but git stuck at about 15cm above chest the same...

Has anyone tried any Russian programs. They are simialar in theory to the DF 5x5 in terms of overtraining but with varying rep ranges. Here is the link. www.joeskopec.com/extrussianpower.xls

I am around 5 f 10" or around 175 cm. My stance is about 3-4 inches wider than shoulder width. If I go to wide I find my groins start getting a tendonitis type pain right up the top of my groins. Could this be where a higher box comes in until strength is built up equally? I noticed when I first...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwC3tHpu8UI This was my last week of my first full 5x5 and it was the final set in the 1x3 squat. The box hieght is 12 1/2 inches. I am coming back from a lower back injury I sustained approx 5 months ago so I decided to give the box squat a run because of the...

What are peoples thoughts on incorporating bands and chains in SF 5x5 training. I was thinking of using them in such a way that when you reach your 5 rep max reset the weight but instead use bands for the next 5-6 weeks. After you reach your 5 rep max use chains for the next 5-6 weeks. After...

What are peoples views on doing SF 5x5 during the season. Good bad or setting you up for injury/overtraing. Soccer training is 2 times a week with a game on the weekend. Would dropping down to lifting 2 times a week be more benificial for recovery?

Top lift Just 1 question. Wouldve that passed in a competition. Did you go to parrallell? It was hard to see at with the angle of the camera.

Anybody used this product yet. What were the results?
