Do you follow 5x5 stronglifts? http://stronglifts.com/5x5/

I've heard good things about it.

Yes I am following 5x5 at the moment and have been for about 3 months now. I have really enjoyed it because the workouts are relatively short but very intense, also I just like all the compound lifts. Are you thinking about starting it? If so feel free to ask me anything

I'd like to give it a go. I've recently moved and have no gym membership here yet. All the local gyms are about £40-50 per month and I can't currently justify that. At the moment I'm making do with my own smaller weights and the GSP Rushfit series. It's okay but I wish I had the heavier weights for 5x5 as it offers benefits you can't get with small weights.

Been on a big swimming kick recently, starting last summer.  Finally did a mile in 30 minutes on the nose (25m pool)!  Looked up at the clock at the start of the last lap and had ~45 seconds left.  Always try to turn it up the last few laps and sprint the last, but I didn't think I had 45 seconds in me.  But I finished at exactly 30:00!  And yes, I know for you ex-competitive swimmers this is NOT impressive in a 25m pool :)  But when I started timing myself I was at 33-34 minutes, so I'm pumped.

Really been digging the swim workout.  I work at a university so I swim at lunch MWF, try to mix in a push-up/pull-up based session on the weekends.  I go a mile total every workout.  Mix it up between full mile straight, ladder 100m to 400m and back in 100m steps, and a half mile "warm-up" then 50m sprints starting every 60 seconds.  Those are super fun and tough.  Typically start out with a 38 second 50m.  By the 12th I'm killing myself and can't beat 46-47 seconds.  I'm only doing 12 at the moment, finish the mile with a 400m cool down, usually with fins for extra leg work.  I have a buddy who turned me on to mixing in the sprint day doing 16 laps every 50 seconds!  I'm working towards that but nowhere close.  At this point I'm barely able to breath by the 12th lap every 60 seconds...

When you reach maximum weight, do you go back down on weight or just repeat the same weight the next time?

Wrong quote. Stupid iPhone. I was referring to 5x5 strong lift.

    • Day 521 - 2026-03-06 Got some good work in for 15 minutes or so with someone overseeing. Downswing work.
    • Day 201 3-6 Wider backswing trying to blend it all together for a full swing. Not looking good yet. 
    • Day 74 - 2026-03-06 Backswing work out back at the net. Slow.
    • Day 101: did a stack session. Worked on hands down in the mirror during breaks. 
    • Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
