Strong 5x5

A simple, proven barbell program focused on building full-body strength with just three compound lifts per workout. You’ll train three times per week, alternating two sessions: Squat, Bench Press, Barbell Row (Workout A) and Squat, Overhead Press, Deadlift (Workout B). Each lift is done for 5 sets of 5 reps—except deadlifts, which are 1×5. Add weight every session to drive steady progress.
