Am I reading wrong, but isn't the 5x5 suppose to be 5 working sets with the same weight.

Yes.

No - the weight goes up for each set

Preach it brutha!

It depends on what version you are doing the intermediate or the advanced. Advanced is 5 working sets of the same weight.

My 2 cc's worth:


I have tried both versions.....for me 2 progressively heavier warm-ups followed by 3 working sets of the same weight worked best for me

So somehow I hurt my legs really bad lifting on monday, so I took an extra day off, so heres thursday.

Thursday:

Squat: 45,55,75,75
Incline: 45,45,45,45
Deadlift: 55,75,90,105

still no crunches for the week, will be starting back with them next week.

For all the people that say I aint eating enough, I know this, I decided every week I'll add 500 cals and eventually I'll get to 6-8k. I dont know if its mental or something but eating over 3k is just hard right now. So this week is 3k and next week will be 3.5k and so on, I'll get there eventually.

Food:
didnt have time to track it all out, its easily at or over 3k, I need to get better at tracking what I eat so I have some idea of how much.
