5×5 weight training 10 points to best answer?
i would like to start the 5×5 weight lifting program but i am not sure of the principles and stuff - like how much to increase lifts by and how ofen and what cadence should you have when lifting and stufft - cheers.
Answer
Hey mate I just started a 5×5 weight lifting program, a friend from work gave me. Its only 3 day a week workout but he reckons from the ten years of lifting he has made the most significant gains. The program he gave me is..
Monday:
Bench Press
Pull Downsor Weighted Heaves
Squats
10min Abs
Wed:
Shoulder press
Bicep Curls
Calf Raises
Fri:
Deadlifts
Weighted Dips or Close grip bench
Shrugs
10min Abs
This is 5×5 starting at about 90% of your one rep maxium, but that is for the last set. So the first four sets your working up to the 90%. Then each week add 1.25kg to each arm/leg for 12weeks. And should give you good strength and mass gains. Im currently week 4 and already notice good strenght gains. Make sure you also eat well 
Oh and i usually leave about 1min-1.5min rest between sets.

Should I lose weight before weight training or during?
I’m 323 pounds and I was wondering if I it was better If I lost more weight before I strength trained or not.
Answer
Definitely during…. weight training by itself won’t help you lose weight much, however: cardio is best for this - however, gaining muscle does speed up your metabolic rate a lot, so it is a good help nevertheless!! If you just try to lose a bunch of weight without exercise you’ll simply end up skinny, and prone to bouncing back to your original weight easily!! Gaining muscle is a good way to help raise your metabolic weight on a long term basis, which will help KEEP the weight off (and make you look good also…..).
Is cardio or weight lifting better for weight loss?
i work out during the day on my lunch, so I only have about 40 minutes really to work out (10 minutes on either side for changing). I’m about a size heavier (approx 8lbs) than I’d like to be, and given my limited time, which will help the weight come off faster, strength training or cardio, if I only have time to do one or the other?
Answer
Both actually…. why not do 3 cardio days and 2 strength training days? That way you can loose weight while also toning your muscles… Also, make sure you’re eating a healthy diet!
Weight lifting deadlift question?
How much weight should a 14 year old boy be lifting on the deadlift?
By the way im pretty skinny and am currently lifting about 24kg.
Answer
i’m skinny myself. i weigh about 59 kg. and i’m 14 years old. i dead lift about 93 kg but i have a large advantage cause my arms are extremely long so i can easily get low to the bar. keep up the work! strengthen your legs and back and find a good technique.
good luck!

How long should my Weight Lifting Session be?
I’ve been strength training for the last 2 years now, usually i lift weights for about half an hour. i was wondering how long a recommended session should be? and if my muscles don’t pain the day after my workout can i lift weights everyday (i’ve been doing heavy weights for so long that my muscles don’t tire as easily)?, and also, lately i have wanted to try out some protein shakes, and i wanted to know what good shakes that you would recommend, id prefer them to be cheap but have good results at the same time. Cheers
Answer
half an hour isn’t bad. but if you’re strength training, more reps less weight. so try doing that for a hour of 45 min. as for cheap protein shakes, just down three raw eggs in the morning and that’ll be the equivalent amount of protein in one of those shakes. add in some multivitamins and some ginseng extract and you got the shake it’s self.
working out-don’t worry about how many reps you can do, but rather how long you can last. So instead of counting out reps, have your spotter keep time, like just do bench presses for 5 min, without counting reps.
What’s the best type of weight lifting for track & field?
I am a football player in high school for my freshman year and I am also a track runner. I weight lift for football but I don’t want to become too heavy for track & field. What’s the best kind of weight lifting that I can do for track and field that can give me strength but not build any heavy muscle? Should I do lots of reps and low weights or VERY little reps and heavy weights?
My current weight lifting workout is Bench Press (175lb 4-5 reps) and Squat (205 lb 8 reps) and other unipmortnat things to mention.
Answer
depends man what events are you planning on doing? if your doing distance you want usually like 3 sets of 16reps (less weight). if your sprinting probably want to get 3sets of 8-12 reps (more weight)
