accessory work for 5x5, can some vets take a peep

[mm107]

My assitance work On the 3 workout Days.

Monday - Squat / Bench / Row
3 Sets of Barbell Curls x 8 reps
2 Sets of Incline Dumbells (20 rep range)

Wednesday - Squat / Incline / Deadlift
2 Sets of Weighted Hypers
4 sets of Chinups - 2 in front of neck 2 behind the neck (10-12 rep range)

Friday - Sqaut / Bench / Row
3 Sets of Weighted Dips x 5-8 reps
3 Sets of JM Presses (8 rep range)

Monday, The barbell curls are because i havnt done them in a while and they are quick, and shouldnt interfere with my healing. The incline is basically for my "mental" fix.

Wednesday, The hypers should be quick and really finish off lower back, The chinups should finish off upper back so my back should be nice and have several days to recover before another workout.

Friday, I got 2 days off for the weekend, so i figured this is a day where i can play with some accessory work. The dips are on the original 5x5 plan. I want hit triceps hard, since i have 2 days off. THIS IS THE ONLY DAY IM NOT SURE OF DOING JM PRESSES. THE ONLY OTHER EXCERCISE I WOULD LIKE TO DO WOULD BE SKULL CRUSHERS.

I don't have a problem with anything except the hypers and the JM presses.

If your heavy deadlift isn't taxing enough for you, add some more sets during the ramp. I haven't done a hyper in my life and I hate the idea of them. If anything, do some heavy crunches instead to help stablize your core.

On Friday your bench and dips is all you'll need. I can't envision a reason that you'd need to add JS presses.

Less dealing with the specifics and more dealing w/ the big picture, I'd say just pay attention to how adding that stuff in affects your recovery and takes away from your ability to make consistent jumps in the core lifts. The assistance should not interfere.

Frankly, I'd suggest . . . STICKING TO THE PLAN the first time out. Lol Just trust it, run it, and see what happens. You can add in 3 diff't triceps exercises later if you really need to. Since this is your first time w/ the 5x5-type program, I'd encourage you to just come to grips w/ the fact that you're training differently than before. Get over that mental hurdle and trust the program.

Specifically, I think you're bombing your shoulders pretty good: two days of flat benching, one day of incline benching, plus 20 reppers on incline DB, and dips. I'm guessing your bench will stall pretty quickly. Maybe not. I'd encourage you to dump the 20 reppers. Get over the "mental fix" and just run the program as written. As for dips + JM presses, I agree w/ blitz44. I'd also probably suggest reverse hypers before hypers. And I don't see any ab work, as blitz mentioned. Is that an oversight???

Thanks, ok deal, ill drop the JM presses, ive been sticking to the program, to the "T".

Ab work is on my off days, Tuesday + Thursday + Sunday (2 out of 3 usually)

Mental fix is almost gone, trust me. I just love going crazy in the gym, i see the game is all about smarts tho, so thats why i keep tweeking the program.

My ability to heal/recover is top notch. Diet is Great, not good, great. With clean cals. sleep is good as well. 7-8hrs/night.

K, imma drop the Jm presses, and just leave DIPS in there.

Im going to play with the 20rep db's. If i feel they are too taxing, then they are gone.

Those 2 Sets of Incline Dumbells i would of thought are going to be more negative than beneficial. Might be a good idea to replace the incline db's with some ab work.
I don't see anything wrong with doing hypers, i do them myself and they are a great assistance excersise, Allthough i to don't like doing them that's just tough because they are good for me, hehe. Aslong as nothing interferes with your main lift's that's the main thing.
If you do military press or incline barbell on a wednesday then i'm sure it would be fine to change that for incline db's
