StrongLifts 5×5 Advanced: Strength Training for Intermediates
Posted in StrongLifts 5x5 on Mar 24th, 2008
StrongLifts 5×5 doesn’t work endlessly. Once you can Squat close to 1.5x your body-weight, your body can’t handle 3 weight increases per week anymore. The weight becomes too heavy for your body to recover in time.
The solution is to switch to weekly increases and include light days. Add weight each week instead of each workout. Include a light mid-week Squat day to help recovery. This is how StrongLifts 5×5 Advanced works.
