Expert Insight: Why 5x5 Stops Working
StrongLifts 5x5 is linear. You add weight every time. Eventually, the weight becomes too heavy to recover from in 48 hours. This is the "intermediate plateau." **Breaking the Plateau:** To keep getting stronger, you need to vary volume and intensity (Periodization). RepLog facilitates this. You can easily switch from 5x5 to 3x5, or move to a "Heavy/Light/Medium" split. We don't force you to reset; we help you evolve your programming while keeping your data continuous.
