Strong Lift 5×5

How to continue when there’s no more weight to add after 3weeks on strong lift 5×5(limited weights)?

Add reps or sets.

The beauty of this is it’s simplicity.

You mean strong lifts 6×6???

You could also add more lifts, Reg Park style.

I think (I hope) he means he doesn’t have any more weight to put on the bar.

I think this is what he means.

Are you at a home gym or small commercial that doesn’t have much? If so sometimes you can find a used sports equipment store and get some plates for pretty cheap (ours is called play it again sports) I got some iron plates for 50 cents a lb.

If that isn’t an option because of money restraints you could always try 5x6,7,8,9,10 I think you get the idea. Regardless at some point you will simply need more weight.

Regardless good luck

You can probably find old plates and equipment near-free with a little patience on craigslist or Facebook marketplace if you live in or near a decent sized city. Especially if you’re willing to take some shitty old equipment with it.

At least in my area.

Whoops that what I get for skimming post.

Sorry guys, yes I meant I’ve no more weights to add and thanks for your responses
