Thanks for the input. I can handle the 5x5 in all aspects except for the squats, for already stated reasons.
How about this modification. Dropping the squats on Tuesday, and keeping the same weight for all sets on Thurs. Also keep in mind, that for squats, big weight will be limited until I get stronger with cleaning it overhead.
Any recomendations on lifts selection for accessory lifts, or are those below sufficient and well diverse?
