Hi,
I'm on my 2nd week of the 5s, my excersises below
Squat 5,4,3,3 (total 15 reps) - drop set on last set
Machine Delts 5,4,3,3
Machine Bench 5,4,3,3
Machine Back Pull 5,4,3,3
Is it safe to squat 3 times a week with this rep range on squats? So far I don't have any back pain but its quite exhausting, especially after doing a drop set on the final set of 3 reps.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to effectively do 5s without machines? I would like to do dumbell delt press but when doing 3 reps you spend most of your energy just getting the weight up.
I've dropped doing isolation exercises during the 5s as a result of the suggestiongs (on bicep, calves and tricep). Actually my bis and tris get a good workout from the other compound exercises i'm doing. Is this what most of you guys do?
