To be fair, Mehdi is clear that he didn’t invent the program.

> The 5×5 workout is a strength and muscle building program that’s been around for over 60 years.

> It’s not clear who invented the 5×5 workout. The first person to write about in the 1960s was Arnold Schwarzenegger’s mentor, Reg Park.

That is fair and I didn’t know that! Thanks for the info. Dude made a lot of money off of it for not being the inventor :)

Now that you mention it, SL is probably a great program if you’re doing steroids and can recover from ~anything in 24 hours!
