Been out of it for about eight months, and looking to combine a lot of 5x5 with some hypertrophy specific training. Never done this before, so I'm just looking for some thoughts/input.

Close to the "Needsize 5x5", which I like a lot, ran it for quiet a while myself.

As for yours....thats a tidy split, I like shoulders and back together, however i'm unsure of shoulders the day after chest...particularly when the chest day has inclines....you follow me?

You could split your shoulders...so Day 1- chest/side and front delts. Day-2 Back/rear delts...
