Hardgain81, do what Chinpiecedave is doing on pg 3 I believe. What's your HST looking like? To incorperate the 5x5 I think it would be easier to do HST with almost all compounds (IMO). I'm tempted myself, but I'm already 3 and a half weeks into my volume phase. If I were you, I'd pick either animal mass's version or madcow's version. The only difference between the two is am's doesn't have a pyramid and madcow's does. I've been doing Am's version without the pyramid, but it's kicking my ass.

I had to re-adjust because I'm starting to sling alot of weight. So now I'm doing a pyramid on Monday with JS Rows, and on Friday I'm doing a pyramid with incline bench. It was too much on my anterior delts doing standing military's on Wednesday and incline bench on Friday all using the same weight!
