Description

This 3 day workout routine is designed for intermediate lifters looking to build their strength. It is based on the common 5x5 workout principle, in which you perform 5 sets of 5 reps with a compound movement, increasing the weight each week. Increase the weight used in an exercise when you reach the max amount of reps on the last set. If you're looking to increase your strength and proficiency with compound lifts, this is the workout for you.
