Okay so no go on the mods....this is exactly why I made the thread, thank you guys soo much. Okay so here's my last version of 5x5 I did...

Mon:
Squat 5x5
Bench 5x5
Powerclean 5x5

Wed:
Squat 4x5
Incline 4x5
Deadlift 4x5 <===So I should do about 2-3 sets of 5?

Fri:
Squat 4x5, 1x3, 1x8
Bench 4x5, 1x3, 1x8
Powerclean 4x5, 1x3, 1x8

So on Wed I should drop my Deadlifts to 2-3X5? Also @ what weight should I be doing deads? Oh and I modded the program for a few reasons..One being that my gym is small and the other one is that well, just bein lazy I suppose..I know cleans KILL, but they are pretty much a FUNDAMENTAL lift so I shouldn't try to avoid it. Here's where I got the idea that I could interchange them, cleans and deads pretty much work the whole body so that's where i got the idea...But one is more of a "quick powerful movement" whereas one I suppose is more of a "slower controlled heavy lift" idk...And how should I go about setting my daily routine with what I'd be lifting weight wise? By what week should I be hitting my current 5RM? Tomorrow I am going to find out my current 5RM so I know kinda what to base everything off of, I guess I moreso just need to know by what week I should be at my current 5RM....Any other suggestions for my program? I'd also like to throw in some pull-ups somewhere in there if that's okay, let me know what you guys think...Thanks for the help! It is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!
