Any advice? I've been off the forum for quite awhile and haven't worked out in awhile either. I'm looking for something that doesn't have squats everyday though like how 5x5 does....

thanks everyone!
 
Back to basics is really just concentrating on 3 areas -chest , back and legs rotating say mon wed fri.
legs could still include squats but it would be once a week and not ED You also would be working the other muscle groups once a week .
CHEST-Bench press; flyes ;incline bench and flyes ;dips and your pretty much covered.
BACK-deadlifts; dumbell rows;lat pull downs wide grip and narrow;pullups.
LEGS- squats ;leg press ; thigh extensions ;calve raises seated or stood
probably missed one or two others which would be worth considering but theres lots of info out there , just research .

the smaller muscle groups like biceps and triceps youre bringing into play when doing other exercises so its not important to train them specific , not only that your using energy which could be directed elsewhere.

westside barbell for skinny bastards. Easy 3 day template with plenty of potential.
 
hey guys, reason for squats is my knees used to get over done really easily squatting 3 times a week. Thanks for the tips, Looking forward to getting back into it again.
 
dude, im glad u wanna come back! come home from a&m and ill train with you! anyways, this is what i would do. my version of 5x5

Mon - Flat Bench, Squat, Row, Shoulder Press, Bicep Curl
Tues - OFF
Wed - Incline Bench, Deadlifts, Skull Crusher, Leg Press
Thurs - OFF
Friday - Flat Bench, Squat, Row, Shoulder Press, Bicep Curl

Then flip it the next week
