That's "Jon Jon" His description of 5x5 began with "3 sets" and never came back... reps he doesn't apparently even need to define .... I haven't heard a single completely coherent point yet .. I think he's been huffing the pre-workout and lets just say his career more than slightly cashing in on the Park surname

@VincentS988 2 года назад

5x5 is a great and basic approach to strength/size for the individual looking to “powerbuild.” It’s very simple to structure out. Every time you complete a 5x5 with a given weight you add 5lbs next time. If you fail a 5x5, brush yourself off and decrease the weight by 15lbs next time and climb back up. You also have the option of decreasing the volume by doing a 3x5 if the weight is getting heavier. Volume decreases as intensity goes up… I love starting a program with 5x5 on my Squat, Bench, Deadlift, and Overhead/Military Press.

the last phase of Reg Park's 5x5 is pure hell though. Definitely not for beginners

@VincentS988 Год назад

@@arissp4950 I’m not too familiar with how Reg Park incorporates his 5x5 but I personally start with 80% of my 1RM and do exactly what I stated above.. The guy above you wrote “wrong” but this is how I program a 5x5 when I start a linear progression program which transitions from sets of 5s, to 3s, to eventually 1 “singles”… I’m not a beginner following “StrongLifts 5x5” or “Starting Strength” rules and laws…

@Worlds.Strongest.Mauro10 Год назад

Decreasing the weight is only a deload. You cannot add 5lbs every week after a certain amount of time. What ur describing also doesnt take into account daily performance. Decreasing volume only detrains you. Just cause you added 5lbs, it doesnt mean you got stronger, you only changed the goal post.

@fromunderthekilt6310 Год назад

I’ve never really understood the 5x5. For strength, yes. Definitely. But I know a lot of guys who have used this program for years, and bar none, they all look exactly the same as they did when they started. A little more muscular maybe but for all the training they do, you wouldn’t even know they trained. Of course maybe they’re not eating enough, getting enough macros etc, but I don’t know why so many young guys use this when they start and just stick to it. I’ve always been in the 8-12 range, and always make great gains when I’m consistent. A 5x5 now and then for a week every few months for max strength gains, but do ONLY use it full time…..pretty pointless if you want to get bigger, which most young guys do.

@sauter1 Год назад

You guys all need to listen more carefully :) He didn't say Mike O'Tren never took steroids, he said " he never abused himself." He was talking in the context of training heavy, and he meant despite how strong he is and for how long O Hearn has been training, he listens to his body and has avoided serious injuries, which helps account for his great shape even in his mid 50s. Whether you believe the natty thing or not (I don't) I think what Jon Jon said is sensible and accurate.

@samuele.marcora 11 месяцев назад

The science is clear. As soon as you push reasonably hard (1-3 RIR) and do enough volume, the range of reps effective in increasing muscle mass is very wide which explains the so many different training programs BBs use.

@mario8833 7 месяцев назад

Exactly. My (unasked) opinion is that however, if your aim is predominantly hypertrophy, you should do most of your sets in the 6-15 rep range because reps 1-5 cause greater fatigue and 16+ reps require more cardio. If you like having fun, (like me), do whatever you like

@someguyusa 6 месяцев назад

Yeah, and Reg made it clear that he is talking about training average people to be healthy, fit, and reasonably strong. Most of the fitness RU-vidrs going back and forth are arguing over what they think is most optimal for hypertrophy. It's really not that complicated, but YT channels don't make money without producing content, so it's kind of just mulching over the same crap. Just pick up the heavy things and put them back down, rest, eat, repeat. Adjust the volume and weights up or down as needed based on your fatigue and recovery ability.

52 years old without roids - reach your limits !!! :) - Wolff's law, developed by the German anatomist and surgeon Julius Wolff (1836-1902) in the 19th century, states that bone in a healthy animal will adapt to the loads under which it is placed. If loading on a particular bone increases, the bone will remodel itself over time to become stronger to resist that sort of loading. The internal architecture of the trabeculae undergoes adaptive changes, followed by secondary changes to the external cortical portion of the bone, perhaps becoming thicker as a result. The inverse is true as well: if the loading on a bone decreases, the bone will become less dense and weaker due to the lack of the stimulus required for continued remodeling.

Back in the 80s and 90s I was doing that "16-20 sets per body part" workout. In the 2000s, after reading a ton on Mike Mentzer, I reluctantly cut everything in half. That was actually hard to do. I had it so ingrained in my head that I had to do 16-20 sets per body part. I didn't lose any mass. That was a WTF moment for me. So I did even less per body part. Maybe 2 different exercises for 3 sets. About a decade ago, I switched to doing 1 exercise for 2 sets. I maintained my size and I had a bit more definition. About a year ago I've bumped it to 3 sets and I've gained about 5lbs of muscle. 5'10" 195lbs and haven't done more than 3 sets a body part. I'll do that for the rest of my life. Believe me, the workers at the gym I joined 2 years ago are baffled. They see me buzz in, then I leave 15-20 minutes later. Same with the patrons, they see me walk into the gym and walk out 15 minutes later. I know they are DYING to ask me how I can do so little. I feel bad for them. Spending 60-90 minutes a workout 6 days a week is utterly unnessary.

this guy is spot on agree 100 percent with him and i see way too many people doing way too many exercises even for body building .and agree with only doing 3 sets but i do 2 exercises one compound 3 sets reps range 5 to 12 reps . then do one secondary exercise with 2 sets with rep range 10 to 20 reps. and i have done the 5x5 program before in my younger days and its not for me but that does not mean i dont think its a great program . its very good program

@stevenintexas6947 Год назад

There is no one size fits all approach because it depends on what your objective is. The most current scientific research shows that for most people higher repetitions of between 10 to 15 are better for hypertrophy in bodybuilding. Low reps such as the 5 reps he talks about are more effective for building strength for the minority of people who are genetically gifted with more slow-twitch muscle fibers than fast twitch.

I work out at home with dumbbells and follow the Vince Gironda approach to volume: if 5x5 becomes too light and you don't have access to heavier weights, then just go with 6x6. Vince used 8x8 as his standard protocol, and even recommended up to 10x10 for some cases.

Gironda's workouts varied. The only time he advocated high reps was calf training or his 15-12-10-8-6 program. Otherwise he was a moderate weight, moderate rep advocate who recommended very brief rest between sets...what today would be called "HIIT" or in Mike Mentzer's terms --- one giant set of rest-pause. To say Vince was a fan of high rep training is a misnomer.

@bryceherring946 Год назад

You cant form an excercise program that's focused on heavier compound movement like is being discussed here and then try and incorporate high reps as was mentioned like 20. That's not only not possible but goes against why your doing the heavier compound lifts in the beginning, less reps but more weight to build up strength. Also some people depending on their size, fitness level and overall goals honestly wouldn't respond well to heavy compound lifts for lower reps so instead to properly incorporate a higher volume based approach one needs to train more in the isolation exercises with volume and alot more excercises per body part like a traditional full body split or you could do a full body workout. My body responds best to more isolated movements focusing on two body parts per working session at a higher rep range broken down into 3 working days, basically a more traditional style body building split more for hypertrophy vs strength based compound movements.

I love the feeling of heavy pressing more than anything else in the world, but push up training with perfect form is absolutely the best for overall strength and endurance, the kind of strength that matters in a fight. Take two 100 kilo wrestlers, both on equal skill level/ experience level one can do 100 push ups and 100 squats, the other can do a max of 30-40 reps... See how that goes....

It's the best for hypertrophy because once you can do 100+ reps non stop (no rest between reps at all) you have huge dense pressing muscles for your height and bodyweight, you will look like you lift.

@@mayukhsen8195 thank you I agree Pushups are my old trusted standby, do you only do pushups as of now

@mayukhsen8195 Год назад

@@edgefinesse4700 I have very specific goals. I train for punching speed and power. So majority of my training is one arm one leg push ups, which increases your bench press (barbell or dumbbell) the fastest. That's what I train the most. If you have looked into Pavel Tsatsouline's work you would know what it is. I do 2 sets of push ups till failure at night, just to keep myself above 100 non stop reps. So long as you can do 100+ push ups, whatever weight you put on will directly go to your muscles, and that's regardless of how fast you are gaining weight.

Who the fuck still believes Mike Ohearn was ever a drug free person. Scooby Werkstatt here on RU-vid has physical training and diet so on point that its something to marvel at and he doesn’t even hide the fact that he had been getting trt. I don’t understand why Mike is still voiched for as a natural.

You're kidding me. Mike O'Hearn is absolutely on steroids. He keeps claiming he is not but after 50 you cant even come close to looking like he does without being on them for the last 20 years or more.

What Jon Jon said about having a heavy, medium and light cycle is very similar to what Steve reeves wrote in his book.

Dead lifts and squats are for dead heads....they can cause long term injuries. You can do other exercises.

Nope. You want to strengthen your tendons which takes longer, but stays with you longer. 60% of your max weight with high reps or what ever you can do 8 reps to failure with. Use that weight over and over after you warm up. Don't change the weight, but increase the reps going to failure each time. I've done this until I can do 30 to 40 reps before I increase the weight.
