    Hey guys, how long is a 5x5 program suppose to last? How does it end? I mean, I increase the load by 5kg every week, I do (for example) DL with 160kg 5x5 atm, if I go like this I will develop 52 weeks x 5 kg = 260kg in a year, so it is going to be 420kg? Haha, I wish, but realistically...

    Yeah, ok, thanks guys, yes, I may overcook it. My original concern was if -generally speaking- a 5 x 5 program works well, should one perform 5 x 5 dead lift as well, as a part of the routine, or dead lift is somewhat different and less volume needed (3 x 5 or 1 x 5). I understand it can vary...

    see that's the thing: even with this program you squat much more than dead lift. Why?

    Thanks mate. I do like: Day1: Squat Day3: Bench Day5: DL Repeat As you can see I squat 2 days after DL. Probably I just try other way around, like: Day1: DL Day3: Bench Day5: Squat Repeat and its all going to be alright, we will see. This is the program I mentioned, I knew that I have seen it...

    yeah, ok, my question was, I guess, if 5x5 DL is ok every week? As I mentioned that some programs suggest 1 x 5 only, they claim that 5x5 is too much volume for the lower back.

    My program says 5 sets for 5 reps on dead lift day (plus some supportive exercises) but it looks like I cannot recover in 2 days, I still feel my lower back and hams 2 days later on squat days. How I recover? Like shit, mate, I am 48 yo, if I injure myself I need an archaeologist, not a doctor :-)

    Thanks, no I already started and yes, I started a bit light, no problem with that, I just wanted to estimate how I progress. It's only the third week, so I do not expect PB yet, yes, I will test it again once I feel strong and ready (in 20 years :-)) Any thoughts on dead lift 5x5? Is it ok...

    Hi guys, I am doing a basic 5x5 program. Does anyone have a formula (or experience) to calculate the 1 rep max based on 5x5? I only found one that calculates the 1 rep max based on a single 5 reps, obviously it has to be much more... Approx how many percent of the 1 rep max can one complete...
