This program is in my opinion, the best to help you start your journey towards body muscle gain and fat loss, which improves your body composition. You need to set up the foundations first, before you start adding extra rooms, furniture, and decorations. Think of building your body as building a house. This program will help you achieve that goal, as long as your diet is also on par. You achieve the “toned” look by having a low enough Body Fat % and at least somewhat decent muscle size. high volume but rewarding and simple program.Ĭontrary to popular belief, you do not need to do lots of repetitions at low weight to get “toned” and “defined”, and even less when you are in a way, a novice in strength training. The Ketogains 5×5 program is based on the classic 5×5 program popularized by Reg Park and has a reputation for being a tough. It's true that each exercise recruits similar muscles, but in dissimilar ways.If you are a novice or beginner in strength training / muscle building (a beginner will be defined by your strength standards, not by if you have exercised before in your life) and actually want to make gains in muscle mass and strength, then this is the program for you. This means the nervous system approaches each differently, so one doesn't necessarily make a lifter better at doing the other. Squats and deadlifts are different movement patterns, requiring different ranges of motion from muscles and joints. The program creators argue that squatting, instead, will improve your deadlift, because it trains the same muscles.
For example, the program explanation states that there's only one deadlift set because deadlifting is too taxing, and deadlifting more than programmed is detrimental. Some of the exercise reasoning may also be too simple. Eventually, a lifter must crank out sets of 3, 2, and even 1 rep around 90 percent of their 1-rep max-and above-to get stronger. Lifters beyond newbie status also need increased training volume to gain size, and StrongLifts doesn't offer that volume, nor does it offer enough intensity to make an already strong lifter stronger. Continually doing 5x5 and adding 5 pounds per workout won't work for gentlefolk who are already able to rock a barbell. This could mean exercise variations, or it could mean how the exercises are loaded. Intermediate and advanced lifters typically need greater training complexity to make continued gains. The simplicity we championed in the above section can also be viewed as a negative, albeit from a different perspective. Overhead Press Disadvantages Of The Program Keeping meticulous records of your weights and reps is important for tracking your progress. You'll then dust yourself off and try again. This deload, however, is only employed for a single workout, not an entire training week. The strategy is then to use the same weight for your next workout instead of increasing bar weight.įailure to achieve 5x5 with a given weight for three consecutive workouts calls for a deload, which means you decrease the weight by 10 percent for your next workout. That's about it! The program continues with this simple progressive-overload scheme until you fail before knocking out 5 reps with a given weight. Add weight, however, only if you reach 5 reps for all of your sets (again, just 1 set for deadlifts). The deadlift is the only exception-here you add 10 pounds, or 5 per side. In fact, during each workout, you add 5 pounds to the bar for each lift-or 2-1/2 pounds per side. That might seem awfully light early in the program, but you're going to add weight each week. The program's loading begins with 50 percent of your 5-rep max for each lift, which means that you have to know (or discover) what weight you can do for 5 and only 5 reps, then use half of that.
