shoulders?

he has them in there on Day 2..
you may find it difficult to squat and do sldl both for 5x5..i dont think youll need that much i would only squat 5x5..and do sldl 2x8

[SpikeyLizard]

It's possible to do both on the same day. I did it when I was still on the 5x5, and I've never had gains so fast in my life.

what would one say the 5x5 routine is....a power/ strength or just simply mass? i like th look of ur routine might give it a go

i personally am going strictly for mass. this progrm is what i will use through the winter. i'm 36, 203 (today) in the past i was always volume junky but have tried the low volume high intensity training the past 6 mos. w/ very little gains except bf......

i'm keeping the mass diet the same and uping the volume to what you see above and think the gains will come along w/ the reduced bf.

i'm pretty happy with the routine this week was the first one am looking forward to upping the weight. feel good after each, like i actually accomplished something anyway thanks for the reply.........
