    should i do what my personal trainer said?

    she told me to modify stringlifts 5x5 by doing :. workout A: squat 5x5, B: bench press 5x5, overhead press 5x, C: deadlift 5x, row 5x5. and to do pushups 10x pullups 10x every day for a week, adding 1 rep every week.

    im basically a beginner strength-wise, but doesn't the weekly volume seem too low? i did fierce 5 before with no issues.

    thanks for any advice

    If you're a beginner, what she said will likely induce "gains", but as general programming it's pretty odd advice for her to give.

    Get rid of her, commercial gym trainers usually don't know chit.

    Follow SL as written. And don't eat a deficit on SL.

    Leaning toward this answer. Some of the **** you see trainers doing with their clients is absurd. There is a wealth of information you can find for free by more experienced individuals in the fitness industry.

    Generally yes but if the man is overweight ...then running the program on a deficit is fine. Definitley don't bulk if you're already overweight. Either maintenance or a small deficit.

    If you're underweight then maintenance or small surplus.

    I tend to take long breaks from training like 1-2 years and I get fat when I do. I tend to run sl when I come back in a deficit and I can lose weight and put on muscle at the same time.
