If you’re looking to gain muscle and strength, you’ve likely heard about the importance of following a consistent training plan. One popular method is the 5×5 training scheme, which is the basis of the Starting Strength program and many other popular powerlifting and strength-building programs. 

What is the 5×5 workout program? The 5×5 workout program is a strength training scheme that involves performing five sets of five reps for a given exercise. The goal of this program is to increase strength and muscle mass by focusing on heavy compound exercises such as the squat, deadlift, and bench press, but it can be applied to any compound lift. 

But the 5×5 training scheme isn’t for everyone, so you’ll want to read on to learn the benefits, tips, and sample workout routines. You’ll also learn which lifters should consider the 5×5 workout and who shouldn’t.

Some of the most popular 5×5 routines are the Starting Strength 5×5 program, the Stronglifts 5×5 program, and the Madcow 5×5 program.
