Strong Lifts with Arms?

crismas

Good Day PBB-mates.
I'm planning to shift from isolation training to SL 5x5 training then adding some arm workouts(bi/tri supersets) per workout day [e.g M-W-F].
Is this good or bad? Any suggestions?

If good:
How many arm workouts reps and sets?

TIA

As per the program, you can add chinups during bench press day and dips during deadlift day. Do this only if it doesn't affect the main lifts.

The purpose of a beginner program though is to build up your strength and get you used to doing the movements, and isolation ain't really needed at that point. The first few months will be training your nervous system. The increases in weight you can lift at the start is simply because you're training your body to actually use the muscles you have. I remember reading something about Hugh Jackman's training for the wolverine role. He wasn't allowed to do isolation work at the start.

If you still had energy to do isolation then why not? You can call it hybrid SL 5X5. Hehhehehe.
