The Power Cleans in SS are 5x3, not 3x5.

This was a good video. One thing not mentioned about Stronglifts is deloading and 3x5. When you can't complete a full 5 reps on any exercise, you repeat that same weight next time. If for 3 times in a row you fail just one rep, then you deload by 10% and try again. If you make it back to that original weight and fail 3 times you deload a second time. If after that second deload you still continue to fail, then you switch to 3x5 for that exercise. Also once you hit around 300lbs on squat 5x5 it's advised to move to the madcow program as the 5x5 becomes too punishing.

For me I like Stronglifts 5x5 more because it got me to find the Massive Iron channel.

I change 5x5 to 3x5. Because of volume!
Squats volume were killing me, my joints.
With 3x5 i can heal and recover for next training session.

The Grey Skull LP fixes the 3x/week squat issue. I liked that the best.

What I never hear anyone mention about the StrongLifts 5x5 is you’re supposed to begin the program with 50% of your 5 rep max on each lift. So if you can complete 5 sets of 5 reps with 230 pounds on the squat you will be starting squats with only 115 pounds. Starting light is the key to being able to handle all the volume. It has worked great for me.

I know this is an old video but thank you for making this video. You’re the only person on YouTube who’s compared these properly.
Another nod to stronglifts is they have an app that makes tracking everything way easier

I found your channel recently. You seem to always take a polite approach to explaining why you disagree with someone / something when you are giving us your oppinion. Respect for that.

Bro  I am doing stronglifts 5x5 from 1 week I saw a great progress...just go for it guys 💥💯

I'm on Starting Strength for a bit more than two months and my numbers increased dramatically. I like "little" Volume and hard work. No soreness, lots of strength gains. Looks and arms? I don't care that much. If I am strong, I look good enough.

Good info!

Thx for sharing!

I like Stronglifts a little better due to the added volume. I tried Starting Strength ages ago (like 12 years) and it was fine. I still have the books and still refer to them. Now I'm 45 and just getting back in the gym after many years hiatus, and went with Stronglifts.  I took their advice and swallowed my pride, starting with just a bare bar for everything except rows/deads. I was amazed at how tough even 45lbs could be when you're doing 5x5. BUT... after the first week the soreness wasn't that bad. I think the key to either program is to get plenty of sleep and eat. A lot.

I’ve been doing a variation of strong lifts 5x5 for the past few months now... it’s the most consistent I’ve been at the gym for a few years now... it’s been awesome... by far not the strongest, but feel consistently stronger than I’ve ever been and look fwd to working out every session... my week consists of Monday: squats, incline bench, pendlay row... Wednesday: deadlift, standing OHP, barbell hip thrust... Friday: squats, incline bench, pendlay rows... then following week I’ll swap incline and OHP... loving it! 👍🏻👌🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

SS power cleans is done 5x3, not 3x5.
Barbell medicine bench plug-in is a variation of SS with more upper body volume.

Great video. I went from SL to SS when I couldn't handle the volume anymore. Did SS for a while and moved on to a 531 variation: press and deadlifts one day and then bench and squats the next. All work well for a while and I keep getting a little stronger every time.

I spend my first year training doing PPL, more hypertrophy focused. Recently switched to Stronglift 5x5, and have been feeling really great progression. I think the mental muscle connection I got from higher rep rangest has translated well for strength focused work, and it really feels awesome.

There is a very easy way to improve upon SL5x5: Squats only for 3x5 or even 2x5 instead of 5x5. This alone makes a HUGE difference. Additionally, you can add 2-3 sets of curls/chins to the end of one workout and a set 2-3 sets of pushups to the other. Problem solved. This evens out the upper body development, improves recovery and makes it a more "rounded" program.

When I first started it was 3-4x10-12 for everything and I still have the tiger stretch marks from it 20 years later.

Never tried starting strength, but started stronglift 10 yr ago without bench & OHP due to my shoulder problem and it "fixed" my recuring lower back issue believe it or not. Then tried 531 for over a year and then stop both. After 3yr of machines & isolation, back to 5x5 and love it.
