how useful are and how often should I use 5x5 sets?
They're potentially very useful. It depends on your routine though.

The routine you posted is pretty bad. There are several better options. I hate recommending routines. I don't know why...I've told people to do SS or something along those lines, but I don't like it. I'll let someone else give a recommendation.

ahh ok gotcha.

My goals are pretty much based in the looks arena...I don't want to be gigantic, but I would like to gain a good 20-30 lbs of muscle or so (I'm 5'11", 155 lbs). I would definitely like being stronger, but that's not my primary goal. I want to be proportionate (duh).
