You should try to regularly increase the loads in your exercises as this 5×5 repetition scheme helps this happen regularly and is essential for gaining muscle mass.

It is a short but intense workout in which the objective will be to considerably increase the loads and gain muscle mass.

It is important to follow a diet hypercaloric to achieve good progression with this training.

Accessory exercises can be added if there is a need to pay special attention to a certain part of the body.
