      I looked up "stripped 5x5", it states: > you could work out Monday/Wednesday/Friday or Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday or some other combination like that http://newbie-fitness.blogspot.com/2007/01/stripped-5x5.html http://newbie-fitness.blogspot.com/2007/01/stripped-5x5.html It's basically stronglifts 5x5 but with less squatting.
