So my question is, what do I do? I feel as if 5x5 squats three times a week is too much and my body is just too tired out from it to progress with any of the lifts afterwards. the rows and ohp are progressing more slowly, but they've always taken a couple of attempts to move up, so I'm not as concerned about them. i'm using the staggered grip but it's not enough.
My deadlift is also stuck at 295 because i simply can't hold the bar anymore, and i don't want to use straps. I got 5,5,5,5,4 the first two times i attempted it and 5,4,3 the third time.
#Stronglifts 5x5 progress free#
If you've got any questions, feel free to reach out to me by email, .uk. I deloaded to 250 last night, and it was still very painful in my knees, although I did manage to finish. That's it for today, you've got a selection of solid options that you can use after stronglifts 5x5 to continue making progress in the gym. The instructions on stronglifts are that when you fail at a certain weight, you try again 2 times before deloading, and the following two times squatting, it hurt so much in my quads, knees, and lower back that I couldn't finish. the bar just wouldn't go up, and I lowered it to the safety things on the squat rack. Pages 47 and 48 describe how StrongLifts changes to a 3x5 program only after two deloads on a lift. StrongLifts 5x5 is not the same as, say, Madcow 5x5, which is actually a 3x5 program. It was my first time failing squats since I started, and I failed the last rep of the last set. My copy of StrongLifts says 'Youll do 5 sets of 5 reps (5x5) with the same weight on every exercise after youve done your warm-up sets.' on page 42. I started it today, and I see it being a really great way to get into the weights at home (we have a very simple bench and free weights. It was when my squats reached 275 that I started to have problems. Hi all Ive been looking for a way to get into weight training for quite sometime, and whilst I was browsing through the forums I came across a post about the 5x5 Stronglift programme. actually, no shoulder pain at all anymore (I narrowed my grip a bit, which brought the elbows in, and started bringing the bar down to my upper abs/sternum instead of the lower chest, so it moves in more of a straight line), I brought my shoulder press up to 110 pounds, my rows to 140, my deadlifts to 295, and my squats to 275. Now, after twelve weeks my bench is at 175 with better form and less shoulder pain than ever. I read the form guides over and over, and have been constantly refreshing my memory (as well as consulting other articles outside of the stronglifts website), and trying to constantly improve my form. So, I started stronglifts with 100 pounds bench press, 65 pounds overhead press, 100 pounds pendlay row, 135 pound squat past parallel, and 190 pound deadlift. My bench had been stuck at 155 since January, I had been doing partial squats with 225 pounds, only doing seated dumbell presses for shoulders (using 40's), and not really doing any adequate form of back exercises, apart from deadlifts for which I was using 250 pounds. I started Stronglifts in late August, after not working out all summer.
