Nice. Old school strength and size.
For all the bells and whistles of modern programmes 5x5 still holds up.
FYI I 2nd everything in @simo74 's post.
I did it and got bigger and stronger despite not eating to support getting bigger and stronger. The only thing you might want to consider is that it doesnāt include as much lower body work specifically because it was designed for athletes whose sports are already demanding on their lower body. If thatās not you, then you may want to consider some additional work there. Perhaps your extra conditioning day will take care of this.
I donāt think you can go wrong with that classic routine. Thereās a reason itās stood the test of time.
Iāve never heard of that so I read the article on tnation about the program. Those first couple cycles donāt seem bad at all, but man, it quickly goes into spending what would seem like and eternity in the gym 
Are you starting on phase 1 and continuing on or ?
Omgosh. I just bumped a 3 month old thread 
. Idk why this was under my new posts section.
