    Well, i can bench 175lbs 10 times, so i should do 150lbs for 5x5?

    Also, you mean i can do BB rows instead of DB rows, right? Either is fine? I think you got it reversed. Or, maybe implying it doesn't matter.

    If 175 is your 10RM then start there.

    I did get it reversed, sorry. I am not a huge fan of BB rows or any row that puts someone in a prone and unsupported position. But that is just me.

    Like Patrick, i hate the position of BB Rows and the discomfort in the lower back. I have had a back injury in the past and that sort of position worries me and hurts a fair bit.

    As for your other questions, yeah. It's your program - make it your own!

    So, you would do dumbbell rows instead? Maybe i should just stick with that? Or, what else replaces it?

    Motorcycle rows...
    Wondering where to start? Confused? "Homework 1" will get you started.

    Well, i am making it my own, but i want your opinion since your obviously more educated.

    Here is a plan i made. The total sets are about the same for everyday, so nothing should be overkill. I noticed your sets came to a total of 18. So, i just threw in little things to fit what i wanted. Is this overkill, or how does it look?

    Workout A (Monday)

    5x5 superset
    Squats
    Pull ups

    4x10 superset
    Lunges
    BB Rows

    (Optional) Calves = 3 sets

    Workout B: (Wednesday)

    5x5 superset
    Deadlifts
    Bench Press

    4x10 superset
    Single Leg Deadlifts
    Singe Arm Overhead Press

    (Optional) Incline curls = 3 sets

    Friday, which would be workout A:

    2x8 superset
    Squats
    Pullups

    2x8 superset
    2a) Lunges
    Dumbell Rows

    (Optional)

    Push downs = 3x10

    Incline press = 3x8

    Fly's = 2x12

    Dips = 3xbwm

    I wanted to still do incline press, since that wasn't included...I've heard incline is something not to ignore. Even on Friday, it doesn't go over the total amount of sets and with the exercises I'm doing, i don't think I'll be too tired for incline.

    Overkill, or no?

    Looks alright, the only way you'll know for sure is to try it out. I don't know what your recovery abilities are like, but it should work out okay.

    Remember to cycle the workouts and do the opposite workout on the second week.

    Your extras on the friday will likely change the second week also, to fit in with the other friday workout.

    Gotcha. I just wanted to find incline somewhere. I figured that was the best place...
