      Checked, but it is really bad advice. You need energy to lift. I usually eat dinner and then lift in the morning, then continue with the fast until the next day. This way you have energy for lifting and your GH levels will rise while you're recovering. You grow after lifting so it works out

          1-5 for strength, 8-12 for hypertrophy
          and doing low reps for accessory exercises is moronic even if you were going solely for strength without caring what you look like at all, fatigue to reward ratio too low

            I do every exercise (Squats, benchpress, ohp, deadlift etc.) as 5x5. Only thing do higher is pendlay rows and facepulls are 5x9

              My brother in christ 5 x 5 is strictly for strength training. If you want to increase size you need to hit hypertrophy by doing sets of 12-15 at lower weights.

                So i guess i wasted my time then? I mean i could higher some wheight but i doubt i can do 12-15 reps with the same weight i do now.
                So its 5 sets to 12-15 reps? It kills me to lower the weight.

                Think of it this way when you lift 5 x 5’s you’re working on raising your weight ceiling which is great BUT if you want to gain size you need to focus on how much volume you’re putting into a specific muscle group hence hypertrophy.Your goal should be anywhere between 7500-10000 total weight moved 10000+ on a heavy lifting day. Look into german volume training for more info.

                I mean, you could do 5x5 on compounds to gain strength and 10-12 for 3-4 sets on every accessory exercise for hypertrophy, that's what a lot of people do anyways
                [...]
                how the FRICK do you not have the most basic equipment for calisthenics? Don't you have a park near you that has some?

                What sets/reps should i do for the following then?
                My workout plan is this (created my own which i do for 5 days and only 3 exercises because of work killing most time):

                ACBC(A*) - BCAC(B*)

                A*/B*
                Deadlift - 100kg 5x5
                pullups - 5 sets until failure
                Bench(A) / OHP(B) - 65kg 5x5 / 40kg 5x5

                A
                Squats - 50 kg 5x5 (i lowered the weight because of a knee injuriy recovering)
                Penlday Rows - 37,5 kg 5x5
                Benchpress

                B
                Squats
                PendlayRows
                OHP

                C
                FacePulls - 40kg 5x9
                Leg Raises (with weights at feet) - 13,75kg 5x5
                Preachers Benchpress - 8,5kg 5x6

                I would say you need to start by focusing on specific sets of muscle groups a day.

                You could do a more focused bodybuilding approach which looks like this.

                Mon Chest/Tri
                Tue Back/Bi
                Wed Legs
                Thu Shoulders
                Fri Tri/Bi

                Or you can do a 6 days a week plan PPL where you’re hitting every group twice a week.

                Mon Push
                Tue Pull
                Wed Legs
                Thu Push
                Fri Pull
                Sat Legs
                Sun Rest

                or you could do a mad cow 5 x 5 if all you want to do is reach new PR’s

                Mon Squat/Bench/Bent-OverRow

                Wed Squat/Overhead Press/ Deadlift

                Fri Squat/Bench/ Bent-Over Row

                Alternating between the workouts week to week.

                Set wise I start off doing 5 x 15 and work down to 4 x 12-15 and finally to 3 x 10-12 depending on how I feel and how far into the workout i am. on an easy day I’ll program between 5-7 focused movements on a heavy day I might do 10+ focused movements.

                I have only limited time and i just started that workout plan, i would rather keep it until i get more time after workload dies down.

                I find these plans all to complicated. Why do i need to decrease sets? Why cant i just do like 5x15 and dont change it, only higher the weight?
                I will save your workout plan for later, when i am about to change my plan.

                Is your last set at least to failure? So you maybe get 7 or 8 reps and the muscle is completely fatigued? That would almost acceptable. In any case 5x5 is not good for isolation exercises, you want to pump more blood into the tissue. All the anons correcting you are correct and stress the muscle fibers instead of your nerves.

                Heavy bicep curls can also frick up your tendons, or worse give you a bicep tear if you are not conditioned properly. That conditioning starts with higher reps.

                You must also lower the weight.

                Yes lasts sets are always to failure but atleast minimum what is written as rep. So every isolation workout with more reps? Can i just do everything on the same set/reps to make it easier for me? The plan i posted i would change all the exercises to 5x12-15.

                Looks reasonable. The 5x5 on leg raises should be higher reps like 3x10. You can do them unweighed. I'd also experiment with Yates rows instead of Pendlay if you are looking for hypertrophy, also in a slightly higher rep range.

                40kg Facepulls is sick, unless your machine is calibrated weird. I do 20kg (i think) for 15+ reps focusing on form

                I'd also reconsider the Preacher bench press (don't even know what that is tbh) and do some direct bi- triceps work.

                I did leg raises unweighted but i could do like endless many until i feel something. With the dumbell between the feet i actually feel my abs.
                I look into yates Row instead of pendlay. I have a small homegym where i can do the basics shit, so i gotta look if i can do it.
                Yea, the machine says 40kg and i only feel something after +8 reps or so. Preachers benchpress is if you have your bench on the diagonal and put your arm on it, it works with full extension of the arm.

                Alright, ill look what i can swap. I still am not sure what to keep as 5x5 and what to change as 5x12-15. I dislike mixing stuff too often on reps. I want one plan and keep for it for some months only increasing the weight. I guess i just change every exercise to 5x12-15 and change the volume lower so i can actually finish the sets and then ill see.
                I guess i had false knowledge about 5x5 and high volume is bigger muscles and shit.

                Compounds (Bench, DL, OHP, Squats) = 5x5
                Isolations = Higher reps. You can frick around with dropsets, negatives, really pump and destroy that muscle. Probably don't need 5 sets - experiment.

                You can grow fine with 5x5 on the big exercises because you activate so much muscle mass. It's the spot between strength and hypertrophy and has been used for decades. But for isolation exercises it's all about the pump and tendon health. Best of luck, fren. Wagmi

                What if i do something in the middle between 5x5 and 5x12-15?
                Yeah i need to google what dropsets and negatvies are. I guess the idea is to just make the muscle hurt.
                Lets say i do my set but cant finish the 5th rep, should i decrease the weight to something light and do one set until failure?

                You can do just about anything. It depends on what your goals are. If you want to have a world record strict curl for instance, you will also have to do heavy singles on curls... But 5x5 is a very good basic rep scheme for beginners that will give both strength and size (on compounds). If you want to focus more on hypertrophy (size) you can do something like 3x8+ on everything, if you want to keep it simple. The "+" meaning as many reps as possible on the last set.

                >Lets say i do my set but cant finish the 5th rep, should i decrease the weight to something light and do one set until failure?
                On compounds? Probably not. The last set should be hard but doable. If you can't do it, you should deload (less weight next time) and then slowly increase weight over time.

                > Yeah i need to google what dropsets and negatvies are. I guess the idea is to just make the muscle hurt.
                Yes. You should probably spend some hours researching this stuff and figure out what your goals are for the next 6 months. You wanna be the biggest, the strongest, a mix of both? Don't get stuck in paralysis by analysis, though. What you are doing now is fine, just more reps on the isolations.

                Didn't waste time, strength and hypertrophy are positively correlated. You need the neurological response to activate more muscle, in turn more muscle can grow because you're activating more fiber. Yates did both hypertrophy and strength training, Zane and Arnold too

        cables are based for arms. protip: start your arm portion of the workout with rope pushdown / rope curl SS, 4*20. the only rest you get is the time it takes to put the pulley thing up and down. fricking blows them up and prefatigues your arms. follow it up with whatever but go for PAMP over anything.
