Read the sticky at the top of the board on Training methods and descriptions and follow the link to 5*5. Our current resident expert is needsize, so any questions he's better to answer than me. But. A very quick outline. Basically you pick one core excercise which on a chest day might be the bench press. You work out what your 8 rep max is, then start with that weight (it should feel too easy and light when you actually begin the program).
Then on your bench press you do 5 sets of 5 reps with a 2ish minute rest between sets.
You also pick two more excercises for that bodypart. For example flys, and dumbell bench press, and do 2 sets of 8 reps on each. Each week that you hit that body part you increase the weight by 5-10lbs and just keep going. After some weeks or months you wont be able to do 5 reps and 5 sets of them, so you increase the weight as you would normally, but go to four reps, then when you cant manage that, you go to three reps and begin all over again at 5*5.
Thats the 5*5 more or less. But again, I advise you read the sticky and talk to needsize.
