Description: 5x5 (Chest, Back, Legs)

These 5x5s serve as our big compound lift days where we build our strength and increase testosterone.

Bigger gains working more muscles at the same time.

Slight variation here as we’re going to squat and dead lift twice a week now.

- Grip the bar with preferred width 
- Bring the bar down to your mid chest  
- Push the bar straight up engaging your chest

Flat bench press

- Begin with bar positioned on your upper back
- Brace your midline and keep your chest up
- Eyes forward as you lower, sitting back and down
- Reach parallel and push through your heels to come back up

Barbell Back Squat

- Mid to low torso flat on the Tbar bench
- Ensure that your back remains flat
- Perform the movement by flexing the elbows and retracting the shoulder blades, pulling the weight to your chest
- Pause at the top, return to the starting position
(You can substitute for cable or machine wide row if your gym doesn’t have a T Bar)

T-bar Row

Use assisted rack to start back pulling off the ground. 
Slowly lower down your shins. 
Think about moving your hips backwards and forwards vs pulling with your arms and back.
