5X5 Split???

[454SS]

Trying the 5X5 and have gained 10 pounds in a 6 weeks but I am not sure about the split. This is what I have been doing so far.

day1-chest/bi/tris
day2-rest
day3-back/delts
day4-rest
day5-legs/abs
day6-rest


Does this look right?? Is day-1 too much, when doing it I get a crazy pump but don't want overtrain due to the high volume of sets on that day.

Thanks for any info

Flip flop the back and delts with the legs and abs. This will work much better.

thats a good idea then my back will be fresh but will doing deadlifts have an effect on on my back day???

Deads should be on your back day...I'm not sure I understand what you're asking here...
