The StrongLifts 5x5 Program

The StrongLifts 5x5 program is a weight training routine focused on building strength through three core compound exercises: squat, bench press, and deadlift. It involves performing five sets of five repetitions for each exercise, three times a week, gradually increasing the weight as you get stronger. The program emphasizes progressive overload, ensuring consistent strength gains over time while allowing sufficient recovery. It’s designed to be straightforward and effective for beginners and experienced lifters aiming to enhance overall strength and muscular development with a simple, structured approach.
