either.
For exercises where some skill is involved, like your three exercises, perhaps 5 x 5 is better.
What matters through is pushing, and backing off to recover.
This is the key rather than a magical set of numbers. In reality, 5x5 is little different from 4x6, or 3x8.
Yep. Volume is key. You could do the three main lifts with 5x5. Then the accessory work 3x8. Front squats, leg press etc. Bent rows, db rows, chinups etc.
Incline press, db press, overhead presses etc. Would provide ample volume for growth, and good practice for strength.
Tim.
Time under load...
most blokes do high weight/low rep's and not enough time spent keeping their muscles under tension which is unfortunate.
its the most effective stimulate for strength/growth
IMO, it's safety that is key to lifting longevity and mobility, not so much "volume" which, in itself is a tad nebulus at best, there is a difference between that and TUL.
that and ones recovery between workouts.
