I suggest you spend some time here, and look into his intermediate 5x5, or visit the training vault sticky and read up on the Rippetoe 3x5.

Don't forget to read the training vault.

i have read those. this is a diffrent 5x5 I got off bodybuilding.com. I was just wondering if that 5x5 looks alright????

Picking some exercises and putting 5x5 after them is not really a "program." Since you've read madcow's stuff in the training vault, what specific questions do you have?
