On my tuesdays, fridays, and sundays Im thinking of a 5x5 routine of something like: All exercises are 5x5 unless noted. 90 sec rest between sets and 2-3 minutes between exercises.

Tuesday: Bench press, bent-over rows, squat, and deadlift


Friday: Weighted dips, weighted chin-ups, deadlift, and hanging leg raises (just 2 sets of 5 reps for the leg raises);


Sunday: incline bench press, front squat, stiff legged deadlift, renegade row (dumbbells), and saxon sidebends



Is this something that could work? At first thought I was thinking it was too much. But then figured the running on my "off" days, will just be like cardio. So Im thinking it could work just fine.

Thoughts?
