New routine time

[440Charger]

Hey guys. Was thinking of starting a new routine and was thinking of doing a 5x5 routine since I hear they are great for putting on weight.

Any info on doing a 5x5? I've never done one...

I like the 5x5 workout but only on big compound movements like squat, deads and chest presses. The way I use it is say 5x5 on squats then sets of 15-20 on all other leg movements. Its good for strength but I still like to get my higher reps for a good pump.
