Wendler 531 vs Stronglifts 5x5

Both programs do what they say on the tin. After running each of them for a considerable time I can attest this. If you are a beginner go with 5x5. Intermediates who are training for the pitch rather than the lifting platform will find a good companion in 531, once the initial understanding of running the numbers for this program is established.

Deutsche Zusammenfassung Stronglifts 5x5

Ich habe persönlich das Stronglifts 5x5 für zehn Monate befolgt. Ein simples Programm mit überschaubaren Nachteilen, dass ich jedermann empfehlen würde, die mit Hilfe einer Langhantel stärker werden wollen. Das Experiment wurde im Juni 2014 gestartet und im März 2015 abgeschlossen. Abschlussdaten war für Bankdrücken 122.5kg, 120kg Kniebeuge und 165kg Kreuzheben für Maximalkrafttest.

Stronglifts 5x5 for crossfitters

Stronglifts 5x5 for crossfitters

In total i think that Stronglifts 5x5 is a great program for beginning crossfitters who are aged, before they go into the hardcore WODs from the open, the games or generally into olympic weightlifting. This opinion is based on the facts that the powerlifts used are less technically challenging than the olympic lifts and I think you should build a stringbase before going into the dynamic strength efforts of olympic lifts to avoid that you hurt yourself.

Stronglifts 5x5 for runners

This is a post to help you decide whether you want to do Stronglifts 5x5 whilst preparing for a race in running. If you are an average athlete I would recommend it to prevent injury if you have the time to spare. If your overall goal is general health and fitness this is a great program to run next to a three day running plan. If your main goal is a very fast race time, you might want to step away from this idea. If you want the details of the program itself and the results it can provide please see this Stronglifts review, as I will not describe the program itself in this post. Always consult a doctor before deciding for a special exercise program or diet.

Stronglifts 5x5 for Teenagers ?

All in all I would only recommend Stronglifts 5x5 in the late teenage years. Parents should be open to the needs of their children, inform themselves and make a decision based on facts which take into account the needs of everybody involved equally based on merit, rather than authority. Different approaches will most likely lead to tension in the household and resources being wasted needlessly (been there, done that). I hope this article is informative and helpful, if your family is faced with the decision of allowing a teenager to go on Stronglifts or not. Please always consult a doctor before deciding for a program. This article covers the dynamics and concerns within a family rather than the program itself. The program is safe and works and I have done it myself and you will find details in my review of Stronglifts 5x5.

Extensive 10 month Stronglifts 5x5 review & results [Article, Video]

Extensive Stronglift 5x5 ten-month review

Stronglifts 5x5 is one of the cookie-cutter programs with a linear progression that is designed especially for beginners who want to work with a barbell. Personally, I have done the program from 2014 to 2015 as an entry to the world of strength after running three marathons for consecutive years. After sticking with the program for ten months I changed my regimen because of a tennis elbow. My end results were a 122.5kg bench press, 120kg Squat, and 165kg deadlift. You can find the video evidence for this at the end of this post. Since then I have pushed my squat to 185kg, bench press to 150kg, and deadlift to 200kg which you can refer to via this link to my mock meet on Instagram in 2021.

Starting strength routine: Advanced tips for 5x5 Stronglift program

 

The disheartening news is that i start the new year only with 10kg more on my squat then in September.

If you do not know what the 5x5 Stronglift program is, look it up here.
