5x5 breaks any plateau

If you are stuck in a relentless effort towards pushing past a bench press mark or dead lift number, I got the answer. This routine works for anyone, regardless of your progression or strength. It does not matter if you are a bodybuilder, athlete or just an average Joe! The routine is simple and based of off percentages. First you need to perform your 1 repetition max to your best ability with the target exercise. Next you will take 90% of that number and perform your most powerful routine for 5x5.

If your primary goal is to break your incline bench press max then place this new 5x5 routine into your set up and watch instant results within 2 weeks. It is critical for you to make sure that your primary exercise is the one which you are performing the 5x5. You should also take note to complete 3 exercises to the specific areas and only train it once a week. It is to your advantage to perform the 5x5 first!

Sample routine

Goal: Break incline bench press mark 225lbs
Time Frame: 2 weeks

1. Warm-up: Incline Db Fly 2x30
2. Incline Bench Press 5x5 @ 90% 1repMax
3. Flat Bench Press 8x6x4
4. Db flat bench press 2x30
