Transform your strength training with Nelson's 5 x 5 Hybrid Program, a comprehensive 12-week regimen designed for serious lifters. Committing to six days a week, you'll engage in a mix of heavy compound lifts and dynamic movements, including the Bench Press, Squat, and Deadlift, to build muscle and power. Each session is structured to maximize your gains while keeping your workouts fresh and challenging. Perfect for those with a garage gym setup, this program will elevate your performance and redefine your limits. Get ready to push your boundaries and achieve remarkable results!

5x5-based program with additional exercises for shoulder size, grip strength and jump explosiveness. 

The goal is to spend less time in the gym but to be consistent!

Start with as low as 50% of your 1RM.
Take shorter rest times while it's easy to win some free time. Once it gets harder, you'll need more rest time. (1'30 to 5')

Try to do the exercises in a superset to save time ( first two exercises together, then the next two)

5' Abs tabata is a tabata of 3 ab exercises of your choice. You can do that at the end of your workout.

The exercises after the 5' abs tabata are optional.
Do them to max out results. But skip them if you don't have enough time.
