I'm gonna be junping back on a cycle in another week or two and am needing help with a 5x5 routine. Mainly from folks that are experienced with it. My routine needs changed up drasticly.
I've been using an HIT style routine for the last 5 or so months. I've was basically using a 3-day split. And only doing 1-2 excercises/BP. And sets were no more than 2 or 3. Reps were geared towards the 4-6 rep range.
My goals right now is to still build strength and then the size will also follow. My body has a harder time gaining strength than most but when it is gained size comes along with it fairly easily.
What would you guys suggest? I only wanna be doing one excercise/ bodypart since I'll be doing 5 sets and I tend to overtrain easily if not careful.
My split design would be Sunday: chest, tri's Tuesday: back/bis Thursday: delts, deads, and legs (usually leg presses)
Does that still seem okay? I want to lay off of Flat BB for a while and also switch up my tricep excercises. I've been doing close grips for some time now and am looking for a good strength builder for the 5x5 routine. So, I'll probably go with inclines and I'm still confused for what to go with for tri's.
BB rows also will have to go. They've plateaued for a while now. Chins might still stay though, I dunno. Bicep excercises will have to go high rep however. I don't wanna risk tearing my tendons up again this run. They'll have to be in the 10-12 rep range. So how many sets do you think I should do then?
Delts are being trained with military's for awhile now. I could still stick to them, but am open for any suggestions for a different excercise. Deads are still good to go. As well as leg presses.
So basically just an outline of what I'm seeking help for:
-------------
5x5 routine
-------------
1. Need help with split layout
2. Need different tricep exc for strength
3. Need different back exc for strength. Should I stick to chins?
4. Have to use 10-12 reps for biceps; how many sets do you think I should do then?
5. Delts will be needing a new exc also, what do you suggest? Military's are starting to plateau.
