Is this a good 5x5 routine?

[bigdho]

almost exactly the same as mine, only difference is that I found on back/shoulder day, when you do shoulders first it doesnt really affect back, but when I do back first, it messes up my shoulder routine

That makes sence now that I think about it. Ill do shoulders first, Thanks bro

Im doing shoulders with back. Im workin chest by it self along with abs the day before.

your front delts aren't going to be to sore and possibly hurt your form or weight when you do militaries the following day?

My exact routine that I tried for about 6 months with very nice results.......only difference is I had to move delts to a day on their own...just too much after deads and rows...........I added a tad more volum for each, and did them seperately........

Bigdho and Jkurz1,
Boys, let me know what you think of the 5x5. I have never done a 5x5 routine or anything of this nature. I need to switch some things up, my current workout is putting a hurting on my joints.

I know this will be quite a change from your usual high volume approach! The split looks good. The volume is too low for my tastes, but give it a try and see how it works out.
