    Question 5x5 Question

    Can the 5x5 work out be done on incline bench, since incline builds your chest more? Also, should it only be done by barbell instead of dumbell?

    It took me years to fully appreciate the value of the lessons I have learned from the Iron... I learned that nothing good comes without work and a certain amount of pain. When I finish a set that leaves me shaking, I know more about myself. When something gets bad, I know it can't be as bad as that workout.
