Total Body Thursday: 5x5

 Greetings from the Fitmosphere!

The 5x5 program has been a classic choice for many lifters for decades.  From the Reg Park programs (my favorite classic one!) to Bill Starr's routines, they have taken on many variations and tweaks.  

This article covers a lot of those tweaks:

Give it a read and let me know what you think!  Have you had good success with a 5x5 program in the past, and if so, which one did you follow?

Top Tier Tuesday: Back Squat

 Greetings, Fitmosphere Fans!

It's another Top Tier Tuesday, so let's get after the popular Back Squat exercise.

This is a long time classic exercise that many turn to for great leg strength and also added core strength.
