Hi,
I just joined the forum and apologize if this isn't the right section in the forum to post my questions!
I came to know the 5x5 method from Pavel’s interview with Tim Ferris and I’ve used the 5x5 method for about 8 months so far. My understanding of strength training is basic and I have some concerns based on the following: My strength slightly increased but my overall physique didn’t change! I used to do 1 set and then rest for 10 min to 30 min or even to a couple hours between sets and I’m not sure if this was correct to do? Also, is increasing weight important in the 5x5?
Regarding hypertrophy should someone avoid it for good? If not and my aim is for strength, is it fine to added few sets with extra reps with my 5x5 training?
Thanks,
