Good recovery is essential for making progress with the 5×5 workout program. You need to start each workout in a fresh and recovered state, so you can train effectively, push yourself hard, and progressively lift more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t recover fully, you\u2019ll start each workout in a weaker state, your technique might suffer, and you won\u2019t be able to work as hard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
