Hey,
I plan on starting the 5x5 Monday, so im hitting the gym tonight to find out my 5 rep max for given exercises. I read through the S&P FAQ and followed this link (Eclipse Gym :: View topic - Bill Starr 5x5 Primer - How to create your own 5x5 program) to plan my 5x5 program. However, I was a bit unclear on rest period between sets and the sequence of sets.
First, the way I understood it, whether I do volume or intensity, I always wait about 5 minutes in between sets, right?
I know this might sound stupid, but would I ever "super" set? For example, I would do 5xbench, THEN move on to 5xsquats. I would NEVER do 1 set of BP then go on to do 1 set of squats, correct?
Thanks in advance!
