First day of doing this 5x5. Busted my ass but i feel great! Thanks to all for the help, ideas, and support! Im on a new journey! It's all uphill from there!
Squats, barbell rows, and bench was today.
Wed will be deads, overhead press, and wide grip pull ups. A mon-wed-fri routine.

Awesome work bro!! Squats deads bench n row... That's how the big boys grow! Why don't you start a journal buddy here on this site... Such an easy way to track progress, I don't mind you posting in here by any means though just saying its great for tracking progress

Sounds good. I just don't know the whole site yet. I use the app. By the way, i wasn't sure about this because i thought i was neglecting arms (bis and tris) but damn i was wrong. I feel it in them. Im for sure sticking with this program. Also i suck completely with pull ups seriously. Is there something i can sub for that? Wide grip pull downs, lat pulls etc?

Told ya about the arms !! and no do not sub out Pull-ups. It's a fundamental functional strength exercise . If you need yes incorporate wide grip pulldowns ...
But every workout work on getting some bw pull-ups completed, even if you have to jump and pull at the same time . You will get there
