Plan Details
The 5x5 Strength Training Plan for Beginners routine by JefitTeam is a 4 day workout plan. It is a beginner level plan to achieve general fitness goals.
This is an introductory, 5x5 training program for a beginner-level gym-goers. It would be beneficial, though, if you had at least 6 months of strength training under your belt. There are four training sessions each week. You will cycle through working the upper body before transitioning to legs and then repeat this sequence one more time. For best results follow this routine for 4 to 8-weeks before moving to a new program. WORKOUT SCHEDULE Day 1: Upper Body. 8 exercises. 60-minute training session. Day 2: Legs. 6 exercises. 52-minute training session. Day 3: Upper Body. 8 exercises. 60-minute session. Day 4: Legs. 6 exercises and a 50-minute workout.
