Yes, 5x5 programs are geared toward strength gain. You should worry more about that squat.

I prolly sound like an idiot here but I don't read the workout programs section often. Can someone tell me what the 5X5 program is exactly?

It's a class of programs built around 5x5 sets of compound lifts. Eg Starting Strength, Stronglifts, ICF 5x5.Originally Posted by manodhour
