There’s many training methods that can help you get freakishly strong, from the classic to 5-3-1 method, to Charles Poliquin’s infamous 6-12-15 protocol, and the cube method. But it can be hard choosing which one is best for you, particularly if you’re fairly new to strength training.
The 5x5 workout is another popular protocol championed by British bodybuilder and three-time Mr. Universe winner, Reg Parks. Its methodology is simple and easy to follow – making it a good choice for beginners – yet it can help you get insanely strong, whilst building muscle at the same time.
