A variation of 5x5 animal mass version

I need to put together the plan for the next 5-6 week loading phase. I'm leaning towards sticking with a similar plan as in the 1st post here, except adding the squat back on the 2nd day because I have a rack now. See any where for improvement? I'm always open to suggestions.

Let's see.......
Run for almost 3 months now.
Yup a few PRs (squat, bench, & rows), but for the rows, I am new too, so am playing it safe & squats haven't gone A2G ever, nor have I done them since high school 10+yrs ago. I was a quad/ham extension only pussy.

A2G (Start=135lb, Current=160lb)
Bench (Start=210lb, Current=225lb)
Rows (Start=95lb, Current=120lb)

all 5x5 at the same weight.

Pretty good so far to me.

its AWESOME progress!!! keep it up bro...u post on any other forums???

Yup.

Good luck on your finals.

thanks...which other forums do u post on??? pm me if u dont wanna tell me right away

5-wk loading phase.

Specific goals for this phase:

• Don't slack on cardio.

• Keeping increasing weight.

Almost didn't get the last 2 reps on last set of bench. Without a spot, it was scary to say the least.
