you need a greater variety in your rep ranges...
Here are my next 28 weeks worth of strength routines ... after which I will reinstate a lower volume modified version of Westside since i did too much volume last time
I'll try attaching the other one in a bit...any criticism would help
Squat: 5x5: 295lbs
Bench: 1x4: 275
Dead: 1x1: 475

I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.
cool....how come you think that
Squat: 5x5: 295lbs
Bench: 1x4: 275
Dead: 1x1: 475
Wouldn't it just depend on his training goals?

oh western periodization or linear? well personally my goal is strength not size, i wanna target my type IIb fibers and strengthen them as well as my CNS, which is achieved at higher intensity and less volume...so i'll be adding weight every other week for about two months then i'll change to the full body routine and maybe a week of higher rep stuff in between...

I hate to say, but this routine will not help you any.
You are going to need a little more volume in the beginning with less intensity. As you go through the training cycle you should reduce volume and increase intensity. These are just some basics.
You will not get stronger lifting the same weight week after week.
