Are low reps bad on cycle???

What is your objective?

If your objective is bigger muscles (bodybuilding), full body, compound only, and reps set to 5 will not provide enough stimulation for maximum growth.

I am geared towards more strength than size. The routine I am on is basically a Starting Strength but with extra exercises in. Compound exercises are done at 5 reps while isolations done at 8-10 reps. I have grown a LOT from it.

I just want to know if 5 reps is too low and could cause damage to my joints while on cycle?

Why? Do you compete? Or else nobody gives a rats ass about what you take. Besides your spotters. Or novices at the gym who doesnt understand nothing.
Bodybuilding high reps will give you enough strentgh, it will dramaticly reduze chances of getting injuried and your cycle will respond much better when you make the blood and pump flow.

And yes, 5 reps could def damage your joints.

But got to say, going for strength wil not be that provoking to the man in the street. So if you are not comfortable with headturns, you are on the rigth path.

I don't understand why some people think getting big, shredded, and freaky looking is a more enviable position than gaining strength? People have different goals. I, personally, like to compete in powerlifting but, even if I didn't, I would still train for strength. Why? Because I want to be strong. Just like you want to be big. Some of us don't care what others think or turning their heads as we walk down the street. Some of us just like the feeling of being able to pull a train. Not everyone goes to the gym to impress others with an aesthetically pleasing physique. Some of us do what we do for ourselves.

I've never understood why people think you have to pick one or the other, I prefer training to be both big AND strong.
