This is an intermediate, 5x5 strength training plan. All major lifts (compound movements) will use a 5x5 training format or five sets of 5 repetitions. On these particular sets, the weight has to be in the 80-85% 1-RM or higher range. All auxilary sets will focus on smaller muscle groups using a higher number of repetitions with loads in the 65-75% 1-RM range. The program requires 3 weekly strength training sessions. These are all full body strength sessions using only dumbbells. As a result, the program can be done in the gym, at home or in a hotel gym when traveling.
