Routine question

[Gulua]

Hello everyone,

I would like to hear your thoughts on this routine
as a newbie, my goal is to gain strength

The routine is divided into A and B days which alternate , day off in between workouts


Day 1 :

Bench 5x5 ( first four sets I do as follows ( 50% of max, 60% ,65% , 75% and the fifth is maximum)
Power Shrugs 5x5( same principle)
push press ( same principle)
body row ( same principle)
inc dumbell fly ( 3x8)
bicep curls 3x8
skull crusher 3x8

B
Deadlift (same principle)
Squat (same principle)


on each workout I try to add 5lb to each exercise
any advices? or does it look ok?
THANKS

Have you done 5x5 routines like bill starr's? Seems like an awful lot of volume on A day, and too much use of 5x5 with those lifts, then B day I wouldn't squat and deadlift the same day, at least not a regular back squat and a regular deadlift. I think this routine could be improved, or you could stick to something more standard then modify it, this one doesn't completely make sense to me. Personally I utilize a lot of 5x5, but my training rotates, it takes me over a month to get through my rotation in it's entirety. but there are similar days throughout, but that's more complicated than you even need to get right now.

Personally, i dont think thats a lot ov work, but i do think that with only 2 rest days between exercises you'll burn out pretty quick. I'd go day A, then Day B, then TWO days off, then repeat. Thats 3 rest days for each movement. Perfect (its actually how i train). And on the more hypertrophy-specific stuff like arms/rows/pecs i think you might be better served by doing 5 sets ov 8 reps, not 5. You do need to build some size to build strength, ultimately.

I do a 5x5 adding 5lbs a session, but again, my 5x5 day is every 4 days, not every 3. It never ceases to amaze me just how far one can go on a program so simple.

I would recommend you do 5/3/1 by Jim Wendler.

I agree. Do something that is established and proven to work. Once you master that and hit a wall then try to create something to your needs.
