For a year, I've been doing Strong Lifts 5x5 and now I'm currently doing Ice Cream Fitness 5x5 on a cut (3x5). These two programs utilize the five big lifts, which are bench, deadlift, squat, OHP, and barbell rows. ICF is different because it adds accessory exercises and focuses more on muscle hypertrophy, while SL5x5 focuses on increasing strength. You only work out three days a week! ^_^ Both are great beginner programs because it keeps new lifters on a consistent schedule and you progress overtime. My current 5 rep max numbers are:
Squat 225
Bench 140
BBRow 150
OHP 82.5
Deadlift 210
I'm working on keeping my bench press to stay at 135 lbs and fixing my diet to lower my body fat percentage.
