This weeks challenge workout is traditional strength workout.
What makes this workout challenging is the weight you use. The movements themselves are foundational lifting, strength, and bodybuilding movements.
The movements themselves are the basics.
Therefore the challenge comes from the weight you choose.
This workout is recommended to be used in a gym or with access to heavy weights.
You will do 5 sets of 5 reps of the following movements. Because we want to focus on strength pick a weight that’s challenging from the beginning. The last two reps should be a struggle to finish WHILE still having good form.
Rest as much as you need to between sets, and use as many warmup sets as you need to so that your first set of 5 is at a challenging weight. DO NOT just jump into your first set with heavy weight without working up to it.
The movements are:
5x5 back squat
5x5 deadlift (can do sumo)
5x5 shoulder press
5x5 row
1X failure push-up
1X failure dips
