    Doing a 5x5 routine

    So I read a previous post about Dorian Yates inspired routine. If I took my current routine and did 5x5 how well would that work ? 3 exercises per muscle group, one muscle group per day, ie. chest Monday bi's Tuesday tris wendsday etc....

    What are you going for? Strength, size, endurance, ripped? What? I like Jim wendlers 5-3-1.. Just pick a program (there are a lot of good programs out there) and stick to it for a good 4-6 months and you will get great results

    Ive been doing reg parks beginners 5x5 and it is pretty boring, I must admit. But Turkish juiced recommended me to incorporate the 5x5 like u said, and follow the major compound exercises with isolated exercises. I will be changing the routine to accommodate these recommendations as soon as I can make a good plan. If you find /create a routine like this, please post it so I can have a look as well, please and thank you

    I'm going mainly for size, 6 month bulk then a different plan like 3x12 for cutting for 6 months

    Here's a link I found that has a 5x5 workout:
