Strength - 5 Sets of 5

Today I felt great after training light all week and taking a few days off! I am pain free as of now and am hopeful to feel that way tomorrow. My strength is increasing in my chest and am adding weight on presses. I am trying to increase my weight in my lifts and focus on gaining about 10 pounds in the next few months.

My schedule seems to be working with 3 days a week devoted to strength training - 2 days of core and 2 days off for rest.

My training looked like this:

Incline Smith Machine Press - 135lbs, 145lbs, 155lbs, 175lbs, 185lbs - 5 sets of 5 - 25 reps
Swings - 48kg bell - 5 sets of 5 - 25 reps
Renegade Rows - 32kg bells - 5 sets of 5 - 25 reps each side
Iron Cross - 16kg bells x 5, 16kg bells x5, 24kg bells x 5, 24kg bells x5, 16kg bells x5 - 5 sets of 5 - 25 reps
Farmers Walks - 32kg bells - 5 times - 150 ft each - 750 feet total
Hanging Pikes - 5 sets of 5 - 25 reps
Snatches - 20kg bell - 5 sets of 5 - 50 reps
