It’s easier to progress without hitting a plateau than to haveto break one. Small plates delay plateaus. So get a pair of 1.25kg/2.5lb. Then get fractional plates of 0.5kg/1lb too so you can microload on the Bench/OHP by adding only 1kg/2lb per workout. The lighter you are, the more you need this.

Many people never get to Madcow 5×5. They do StrongLifts 5×5 six months, usually from Januaryto August. Then they quit for the winter. In January they start StrongLifts 5×5 again to regain all the strength and muscle lost. Not what I’d do but if you’re happy, fine. Recovery Soreness Shoulders. Your whole shoulder girdle (front, side, rear) works to raiseyour arms when you Overhead Press. Your front shoulders also work to raise your arms whenyou Bench Press.In fact, the upper/lower-body distribution is almost even. Over two weeksyou do150 Squat reps (lower), 150 Bench/OHP reps (upper), 15 DL reps (lower) and 75 Rowsreps (upper). That 43% lower-body vs 57% upper-body work. This creates a balancedbody development. No Big Meals. It takes about three hours to digest food. Don’t eatbig meals before bedtime or you’ll struggle to fall a sleep. Move dinner time earlier and eat light before bed. Relative Strength. Set multiples of your body-weight as goals.Let’s say you weigh 80kg/175lb. 1xbw = 80k5/175lb Squat, 1.5x = 120kg/260lb. You can aim for 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x, 3x, etc.

Choose muscle. You can easily lose 1lb of fat a week later. But you can’t gain more than 2lb of lean muscle a month. And you need to lift heavy to gain that much muscle. This requires eating a lot food. Besides, a low body-fat is useless if you don’t build muscle mass first – you just end up skinny. The other issue with starting too heavy is that itencourages bad form. Instead of practicing proper form with easy weight, you must lift it at all costs to get your reps. This builds bad technique habits which will cause plateaus andinjuries later when the weight gets even heavier. Barbells. You can lift heavierweights with barbells than dumbbells or kettlebells. Barbells therefore triggeryour body harder to gain strength and muscle. And you only need one to do all StrongLifts 5×5 exercises. This makes building a home gym cheap and easy.

For best results guys need to increase the main liftsto 140kg/300lb Squat, 100kg/220lb Bench and 180kg/400lb Deadlift. Anything below that isn’t enough to see dramatic improvements. Your focus should therefore be to increase the weight until you reach these minimum targets.

Note that you’re unlikely to have constant linear progress. In the beginning you will. Yet as the weight increases you’ll eventually hit plateaus. Everyone does or we would all Squat 500kg. But some people hit plateaus sooner than others. This explains the range for the time-frames. Goalsgive you direction. They remind you of what you need to do to get where you want to be. They eliminate distractions bykeeping you focused on what matters. Set SMART strength goals… Start light. You don’t put four plates on the bar because you read I can Squat that. You learn to walk before you try to run. Start with the empty bar and add a little weight each workout.As the weight increases so will your experience, comfort and confidence with the weight.

Objective.StrongLifts 5×5 is free of subjective BSlike “feeling your muscles” or how you look in the mirror. You know if the program works by looking at the weight on the bar. If it goes up over time – and it will – you’re gaining strength and muscle, period. Take your time between reps. Rest a second before doing the next rep so you can get tight and take a big breath. This will also give you some recovery. Don’t rush your reps or you’ll lose focus and lift with bad form. But don’t wait too long either or the next rep will be harder. Breathing The first weeks will feel easy.But the weight will increase fast. Within four weeks you’ll be Squatting 30kg/60lb more, pressing 15kg/30lb more and Deadlifting 30kg/60lb more. Start with the bar and you could be Squatting 100kg/220lb for 5×5 in 12 weeks. That’s more than most people. I rarely get sore from lifting. If I get sore it’s because I did a new exercise. If I don’t lift for two weeks, resume, and try to lift what I did before the break, I’ll get sore. But outside of that it’s rare. You’re not training to failure on StrongLifts 5×5 sosoreness should be minimal. Nutrition If you’re confused about how to deload, just use my app. It automatically deloads the weight for you when you fail three workouts on an exercise. This saves you having to figure this out and maybe do it wrong. Let the app do the thinking and focus on lifting the weights instead.
