Hi folks, I was so pumped up to start strength training but I realised my gym (planet fitness) as not barbells, no squat racks and have smith machines is it possible to mimic the classic 5x5 routine with dumbbells? Could someone help me with that? It would be so awesome. I can't wait to start on Monday. Cheers

Hi all, I discovered the website recently and have been reading it a lot . I am a very active person and have been hitting the gym for many years. Starting with traditional bodybuilding workout and transitioned to bodyweight training ( Lafaye method) which I love. I am a ectomorph so it's hard for me to build muscle mass. I once tried strength training with barbell for 10 weeks and saw amazing results, got much bigger. So from now one I would like to alternative strength and bodyweight training. Thanks for reading
