5X5 Routine

[flex2000]

I know this belongs in the training forum, but I cant get responses. I've done a search on this training method but I can't seem to get the full layout of this program. Does anyone know where I can find it and has anyone had good results with it?

i am switching between one body part workouts to the 5 X 5 routine every few months.

here's how it went for me:
day 1:
breathing stiff legged deadlifts 1 X 20 reps
military presses 5 X 5
squat 5 X 3
calf raises 2 X 20

day 2:
bent over rows 5 X 5
dbell bench 5 x 5
beathing deadlifts 1 X 20 reps
calf raises 2 x 20

day 3:
shrugs 5 x 5
bbell curls 5 x 5
dips (next time im switching out dips for overhead tri extensions) 5 x 5
squats 5 x 5 (using the same weight from monday and forcing yourself to do 5 reps instead of 3)

obviously this program focuses on the big lifts, its for upping your strength and triggering new gains by changing from a stagnant program.

here's the original thread:

bro, you couldnt have searched the training forum too closely as the 5x5 program and its variations are one of the hottest topics in that forum. Run a search on my name in the forum and you'll find a ton of stuff on a version of the system I advocate and that a lot of members are making great gains on

I'm probably gonna get flammed...but anyways I know that your diet is the most important component in getting lean and cut; however, would this program be good for someone trying to do this?

no, its more about putting on strength and mass.
