Notes: This is the conclusion of the 6-week, 5x5 program. I have enjoyed the structure and simplicity that has come with this program, along with the variety I have applied to keep a fresh mind and body throughout. For this session, I have continued with the body weight main lifts, but have varied the exercises for this session. I will instead do diamond push-ups for my triceps and medium, pronated grip pull-ups for the biceps. My assistance lifts are re-introductions and continuations of previous workouts. These 4 assistance lifts are my favourite assistance exercises from the past 6 weeks.
