Infographic Disadvantages Stronglifts 5x5
Disadvantages of Stronglifts 5x5
My personal take on it
Based on 10 month on 5x5
Lacks form correction
While available via the Stronglifts 5x5 site you are unlikely to follow through, especially as a beginner
Makes you fail
You make very fast gains on the program the trade off is that you will hit a wall. The program is designed to make you fail
Too much too quick
Of you use the app without professional guidance you will be lead to cheat yourself
Not designed for you
If you have specific weaknesses in your posterior chain 5x5 will not adress those
3 Squat days
If you are an intermediate lifter squatting 1.5 times bodyweight this might be too much volume
