Feb 12, 2005 #2 F Freddy New Member I don't understand your question. At the end of the 5x5 (after the first 4-5 weeks) you drop sets and reps down to 3 sets of 3 reps.

Feb 12, 2005 #3 P Primo Max New Member Are you asking what it means literally? 5 sets of 5. 3 sets of 3. Pretty simple.
Feb 12, 2005 #4 Bob Smith New Member 10+ Year Member 20+ Year Member The first number of 5x5 represents the number of sets, the second number is how many reps per set. Or, 5x5 just equals 25.
