>too slow
it takes as long as it takes you mate, there's no time limits don't sweat.

how much rest are you taking between exercises? you probably should not be in there for more than an hour, you'll get exhausted and won't perform well on the latter parts of your workout.

I'll never do 5x5 of anything, waste of time.
If you want volume stick to 3x8+, if you want intensity then stick to 3x5/5x3.

>you should never be in there for more than an hour

never give advice to people ever again please.

That's way too long. You're doing too many warm ups and resting too much. Fuck blaha. You should squat every session, but 5x5 should be optional depending how good you feel.

This is why the alpha destiny novice routine is better. The end goal is to squat 315x5. Pick 3 or 5 working sets. If 3 sets the rep range to aim for is 15-18, if 5 sets rep range is 25-30. You can add 5-10lbs each workout just doing 3 sets of 6, 5, 4, but it doesn't matter what reps you use to get there. It's all optional.

>ICF a shit
Oh no what routine should I be doing

>>38055068
I don't know the program specifically but aren't most 5x5's relatively short? 90 minutes is reasonable, 2 hours sounds too long. Not in the overtraining-meme sense or anything, in the sense that you're probably doing something wrong and inefficient.

Post your dick pic so I can help you determine if you're doing it right

Strong lifts or greyskull. To answer your original question 5x5s shouldn't take 2 hours to complete. You're probably resting way too long. 1-2 minutes is all you should need.

He nuthugs quite a few people, he doesn't really badmouth anyone, but his novice routine is one of the better ones out there

>>38056120
Yeah I just find him cringy. Post a link to the program.

>>38055730
What? He's gonna be exhausted because he's resting too much in between sets?

Sure thing anon.

faggot do you even know what the program consists of?

>>38055966
Don't listen to these dyel faggots. I got off icf a few months ago and it helped me get to 1/2/3/4. The workouts take awhile, usually 2-2:30 hrs and the occasional 3. It's a ton of volume and longer rest periods towards heavier weights is to be expected. Once you start hitting heavier weights and the workouts take too long, switch to 3x5 to keep the progress up. For reference, I switched when I had 205 bp, 275 squat. It's a good program if you want SL but with extra accessories for extra gainz. And if you don't like the time, switch to a different program

>>38055068

I've been doing ICF for about 6 weeks now. It is normal to take that long, and that is the cost of adding these accessories to a basic 5x5.

Most of the people in this threat obviously haven't even read the program so you can go ahead and ignore everything you read.
