5x5 Still Has a Place

People love calling older programs outdated but 5x5 teaches some important lessons which I personally follow*Practice the lifts*Build volume*Track progression*Don't chase failure every set*Recover
It might not be perfect for every advanced lifter but simple programs can work extremely well when someone actually follows them.
