Embodiment + Functional Movement
Dad introduced me to Stronglifts 5x5 when I was leaving for my trip to India in spring break of Junior year of college. I was 21 years old and although I had gone to the gym for several years at this point, I never had a progressive loading growth program.
This program was the base of my movement practice for years, for the rest of college and into my early - mid twenties.
5x5 consists of 5 primary movements on an A day and a B day.
A day:
Bench, Squat, and Row
B day:
Overhead Press, Squat, and Deadlift
Also did yoga.
