The smith machine is awesome tho/ think its helping my squat form.
😵 you must be trolling
Get your squats up to 1.5x-2x your bodyweight (real squats to good depth, no smith machine) and tell us that 5x5 is easy

sweet another person that has come to insult give zero advice and share nothing! woho +1
today i have smith machine here now in my bedroom and moved the freeweights to the garage... there seemed to be no safe way to do 5x5 with out spotter and i have never once my whole life had a spotter.
its not that i worked out the entire 8 hours but it would be for 5 at least and after 3 hours i seemed to wake up and feel so good so would keep going. today will try 1.5 hours or what ever it takes to complete 5x5 with some extra's and wow 5x5 does multiple parts of the body on same day same as what i was doing before.. just didnt seem safe to try max out with reps with no spotter so what do i do? ask my 100 pound gf to spot me? or use smith machine. ;?
the only thing obvious is that people are so full of them selfs. I have switched to 5x5 program and am looking for a very detailed one with a 5 day on two day off. You act like you are so much better than others but just give blanket statements no fact or reason. No data given with your comment other than just dont do them.. ya great advice. Wonder what purebeast0 looks like, fat girl? 100% obvious he is a lil stuck up ***CH 😉 and ya i am attacking him after call me troll twice.. i have better things to do than post on forums unlike you im just here for advice not to poke fun and call people trolls..
been looking around all the diff 5x5.. i was doing 5x7 before switching to my 100 reps for each. Really wish somoene would explain everything. this is my new work out since i can do it 5 days week it looks like.
i really wish there was more than just 3 lifts tho for each day i will try tho and see what happens.
Monday/Thursday Chest/Back
A) Incline bench press, reverse wide-grip pullups, weighted rope crunches.
B) Chest dips, one-arm dumbbell rows, weighted lying leg raises.
Tuesday/Friday Shoulders/Arms)
A) Upright rows, close-grip bench press, preacher curls.
B) Rear delt rows, triceps pushdowns, incline hammer curls.
Wednesday/Saturday Legs
A) Jefferson squats, lying leg curls, calf raises.
B) Leg press, stiff-legged deadlifts, calf press.
but its really hard for me i want to keep adding stuff and doing more. took the life of me not to do any more lifts after 2 hours yesterday. Why is it bad to do a few more sets of this and that isolating certain muscles? why are skull crushers so bad to do?
WOHO another person coming to post nonsence with no facts! i dont need a spotter and i dont need to live or breath or eat either but its really fun to not fear your life when lifting weights.
Finished the sets today in maybe 2 hours. feel so naked and under accomplished i am maxing out and doing 5x5 but not really feeling anything after like on a normal days work out where my whole body aches. feel like going to do some curls and stuff but i will resist till tomorrow as i have trained for over 2 hours and apparently that is a big bad thing to do? hahahahha. as far as over training.. i think it depends on diet goal and body type. i am not sure what mine is as i have not done this long just know that i am very happy after my usual work out and today i am depressed.
The smith machine is awesome tho/ think its helping my squat form. i was debating going to garage and using my old weight set for the squats and rows but used the smith machine instead.. and i failed at following the routine. i did every days lifts instead of just the first day.. then did super sets afterward of butterfly back pull downs and leg lift things hehehe made me actually sweat and finished it off with that.
My old squats i did i would do my sets of squats and after the set i would step up on a milk crate 15x with each leg, so just doing 5x5 of squats feels CRAZY! i feel like i have all day ahead of me instead of just hammering away at diff lifts. i really prefer one off one on but will try the 5 or 6 on and 1 off..
Still wondering why my friend had me doing all those reps.. i think there is a endurance aspect to it. He does MMA and fights one guy after the next so maybe this is more geared for that kinda muscle tone? shrug i really liked it but i wanted to switch it up as i hear you get used to work outs so here i am.

4. Unlike other muscles in the body, skeletal muscle cells do not replicate. Once you lose them, they're gone for good. This "biological immortality" has its advantages, however also why every single poster in this thread is warning you to take it easy.
