Critique this 5x5

[shwaym]

do not do cardio right after or before weight training. youll be taking the nutrients your body needs to build muscle/recuperate and using it for cardio energy which makes no sense.
plus how long does it take you to do the weight routine? if that takes about an hour + 20-30 minutes of cardio thats way too long without a protein shake.

heres what i do: weights 2 hours after meal 1 for a lttle less than 1 hour.
cardio (if i do it at all) is at least 4 hours and 2 meals later.


the other minor thing is that id switch back to bentover BB rows 5X5. close underhand rows 2x8-10. and lat pulldowns 2x8-10.

are replace bb rows w deadlifts and eliminate pulldowns altogether

Ok switching some more around. On back day instead of lat pulldowns as my 5x5, I'm switching to BB rows.

What does your rotator cuff rehab entail?

I had been doing more, but I'm down to just external rotations. I probably should continue the rest of the exercises (I injured my shoulder the first time in high school. I've been doing the thera-band exercises I was given them with light DBs or cables).

This is a great article. I will definitely incorporate some of the exercises into my routine. Next time I'm need a long break from a regular workout, I may incorporate his entire one month plan.
