10 sets of 5??

[youknowit45]

I heard about this workout to raise your max...

10 sets of 5 on the main lift for each muscle group using a 5 day split

ie..
mon- chest(bench)
tues- back(bent over row)
weds- off
thurs-shoulders(shoulder press)
friday-arms- bicepts(ez bar curls)tricepts(close grip bench)
saturday-legs(squats)
sunday- off

All 10 sets you need to make sure you can get all 5 of the lifts so its lower weight of course..

[youknowit45]

how did it workout for you?

[200byjune]

i liked it and i broke through my bench plautuo but i didnt like it for others

german volume training i think its the generic name for that type of lifting. Some people get some decent results, but too boring for me

[godkilla]

never tried 10 sets of 5 reps but i have used the 5x5 program and it worked awesome, especially for my deadlift.

Might have to try it sometime, SLS seems to be working wonders for alot of bro's

10 sets for the main lift and how many for the secondary one? or it's just 10 sets for 1 lift that's your whole workout?

The 5x5 was a very good foundation way to build both strength and size for me. I really liked that program

switch legs and chest day, that way you wont be like everyone else in america doing chest on mon. "National Chest Day"

Also id do deads instead of rows. I dont think rows are the best choice for such low reps.
