Im now on week 5 in this routine and making gains in weight and strength but one thing Im wandering is how to warm up for each exercise? light weights of the same exercise first? Or some cardio before hand?

Hello Guys.
i just found this workout.... about 7 years to late imo but hey....
i would love to try it since Sarting strenght is not working anymore.
i saw that Frankie NY adviced 5x5 and for the hard, hard gainers 5x3.
did he mean 5x3 or was it just an error in typing and he ment 3x5 as rippetoe..?
can someone clear this out?

Regards!

well unless your saying he just got a variation of rippetoe or bill star but 20 years is a long time lol......

btw, what upsets me is frankie hasn't posted routines for intermediates or advanced lifters.

nevertheless, this routine is good base to keep year around

Rippetoe was taught by Bill Starr and there is little difference between the two. Starr just nicked it from Bill Pearl. Who nicked it from Reg Park. And it's not a variation in any meaningful sense.

interesting, i guess that can go for any other routine out there, getting nicked by right after the other

awesome routine, looking to get back into this.

though frankie never based his routines through science, there is a reputable mma strength and conditioning coach by the name of Joel Jameison who back's up his methods through experience and science and oddly enough reading into his methods, he's got one similar to frankie's and by breaking it down to how it works whether you want to gain mass or strength/ or both it's no wonder why frankie's routine works

one thing though i've added in is active recovery between exercises, 5-10mins of light cardio to help speed up recovery. you could even get 30minutes of cardio done this way

ROFL, of course he didn't base it on science, he nicked it lol.

When I did this routine and others. I always find that a weight I can do 10 reps with is spot on for 5x5.

It's best to start off light and get the reps then add 2.5 kg (sometimes 5 kg if really light) each week.

Much more motivating to add weight than to not make the reps and reduce it.

Jazz

Here is how it went

deadlifts 60,80,90,90,1oo kilos
dbell rows 36,42,48,50,50, kilos
bbell curls 20,20,20,25,25

With this routine 5x5 should be with the same weight each set. Not increasing the weight with each set. Generally you use a weight which is about your 8-10 rep max for each exercise.

Really ! Jazz thanks for pointing that out ...so I guess what were saying is that for example the deadlift should of been 5x5 @ 80 kilo etc etc.......?

I would do Pull Push Legs, so your deads and squats are as far apart as possible. I'm currently doing 4 day split but thinking about swapping to this, or a variation of, in the next few months.
