Default Re: The Original 5x5 Program

how can you squat more frequently than doing military's? squat 3 times a week, do military's once a week. it should be the opposite. your legs take alot longer to recover and i dont see anyone recovering from 3 squat workouts a week even with gear unless they were ronnie coleman and even he doesnt squat 3 times a week. workouts should be custom tailored to an individuals recovery and needs. if i lag in delts and have great legs from squatting once a week, im not going to start squatting 3 times a week and only doing militarys once a week. the only thing i like about this program is the fact that one uses basic free weight exercises and the structure of reps and sets but i dont like the frequency or pairing together of big muscle groups. if you squat properly, you wont be able to do much else nor want to.
