Program Description
This program uses the 5x5 set up utilised by many beginner and intermediate lifters looking to gain strength, and adds Hypertrophy sets and reps. Each day you will start with a 5x5 set of ONE of the following, either Bench, Deadlift, Military Press, or Squat, and superset it with an antagonistic or complimentary muscle. If time is a constraint, give the first two exercises everything you have and skip the accessories. If you have time for a full workout, strap up and get it on. As it is 5x5, the goal is to add a little weight every week, usually 5-10lbs, and push a little more. Good luck.
