other than some variation in which muscles you work each day, your routine looks almost exactly like mine.

in a month or so, post up your progress. i'd like to see how this method is working for you.

thanks

Looks solid. I would do shrugs after laterals though.

Also maybe some stiff leg deads or leg curls for hammies?

Agreed. I think you can take a few more liberties with the 5x5 on leg day. Might throw in some calf work as well.

i switched the laterals and shrugs

and i threw in ham curls too, SLDLs r like really hard for me to do so ive kinda swayed away foimr them
