Stronglifts 5x5

Evening,

I have been training on and off for the last two years, using the Stronglifts 5x5 training plan

I am an endomorph, which works well, but find I hit a plateu far to easily

Can anyone suggest a good routine, I don't belong to a gym, but have a decent power rack, olympic weights set and bench set up at home

Thanks, look forward to hearing from you

Hello Jord311, and

Most plateaus steam from either a program or diet becoming stale. This dont mean you need to add more volume to your program, You may just need to shake things up a little.

Also you body can become used to a diet just as well as it can your program. And just adding more carbs through the day could be enough to boost you back on to the road to growth.

I would suggest you make a training log and list an example of your diet and program in there so it would be easier for myself and others to tell where your plateau is coming from.

Hey guy

Hit a plateu for what? Strenth? Weight? Be clear on that.
This 5x5 thingy is a strenth thing,am i rite?
I have read it a little and its controversial for me.
Let me tell u what: To increase ur strength:
Do more negative movements with heavier weights or go lighter but more reps for a while.
Another sure way is to overtrain a bodypart 2 weeks in a row.(exercise it 3 times a week,giving it 48 hours to rest). This WILL increase in strenth,but not size as much.

Size, i believe ur not eating rite,too much carbs and not enough protein.
or the other way around, give detailed info in the rite sections bud.
