Beginners Routine Opinions Needed
.Hi hows it going
I got this given to me by a fellow bodybuilder and i need some advice on this workout.
I know your new to the game, but basically 5x5 is well renound fior being excellent at bringing both strength and size gains. This 5x5 is arranged differently to the traditional split which only has you hitting each muscle group once a week. This way by hitting each muscle group 3 times in 2 week each muscle group will grow 78 times in a year as apposed to 52 times, which means by the end of the year you wil obviously end up bigger...
Its very important you use free weights and compound movements, stay away from machines in general and especially on a program like this.
The weight stays the same for ever set. Up the weight by 2kg on every excercises every time you repeat the workout. (progressive overload) Start with a fairly light weight, and things will progress very quickly. Sonn you will be lifting triple what you started at if you keep addign weight every tiem you perform that excercise.
MONDAY
UPPER
incline bb press 5x5
military press 5x5
cgbp 5x5
chins 5x5
deadlifts 5x5
WEDNESDAY
LOWER/BI's
squats 5x5
sldl 5x5
stabnding calf raise 5x5
barbell curls 5x5
FRIDAY
UPPER (new excersises)
dips 5x5
push press 5c5
skullcrushers 5x5
pullups 5x5
bb rows 5x5
MONDAY
LOWER/BI"s (new excercises)
front squats 5x5
lying leg curl 5x5
seated calf raise 5x5
alternating db curls 5x5

And the cycle continues.....
What do you think.
