If you're going to be super strict with the program, it's fine to add in accessory exercises as long as they don't detract from your main ones. If you need to make the exercise harder, do it. Try to beat your previous record every time. See how many you can do to failure for 3 sets. Wednesdays are push ups, dips, and hanging leg raises. For instance, Mondays are your days to work on planks, box jumps, and pull ups. Pick a few exercises and rotate through them. When I was at that stage of SL 5x5 (and even when I was lifting heavier things with SS), I liked to throw in accessory exercises, just like what you're looking for. However, right now you're learning form more than anything else, so yeah, it's boring as hell. You're absolutely right - when you add more weight, the program gets damn hard and you'll be exhausted by the end of your workout. TL DR Anyone have any experience or even better, any sucess with adding accessory lifts to a 5x5 program? I'm thinking of adding maybe 1 or 2 accessory exercises to each workout in the rep range of between 6 and 10 (which, in addition to the stronglifts 5x5 template, would mean 4 or 5 different exercises per workout.Īnyone have any thoughts, experience, ideas for me? I promise I read the FAQ and scoured the internet for ideas. I've found some modifications that do include things like pull ups, but they are still very minimal. I anticipate a lot of "just follow the program" type answers, but what I'm kind of looking for in addition to that is if anyone else has modified/added to a 5x5 program with additional accessory exercises? I'd like to keep things like glute bridges, lunges, front squats, pull ups and maybe even some ab work in it. My routine over the past 7 months has been a bit of fuckarounditis with squats and deadlifts almost every workout, and also some HIIT, and other lighter weights (free weights.) So, I think it's time to actually make a program. My goal is yes, to get stronger (it's a strength program) but also to look awesome, and have some kind of targeted program so I can achieve some strength goals while I do that. The problem (I guess it's a problem) is that I'm finding it really really easy (I realize it will quickly get harder) and kind of minimal.
