I am getting bored with my routine right now so I figure I will try Needsize's 5x5 deal. So her's my routine give a critique and reason behind it, thanks

D1 Back/traps
Chins 5x5 Deadlift 2x10 Bent-rows 2x10
Shrugs 4x10

D2 Chest/bis
Incline 5x5 Flat Bench 2x10 Dips 2x10 Db curls 2x10
Bb curls 2x10

D3 Rest

D4 Legs/Calves
Squat 5x5 SLDL 2x10 Leg ext 2x10 Ham Curl 2x10
Calf raises 4x10

D5 Delts/Tris
Military 5x5 Lateral Raises 2x10 Reverse Flyes 2x10
Close-grip Bench 2x10 Pushdowns 2x10

D7 rest or repeat

The reason I am not going 5x5 for deads is because I need to work on my upper back, it is really lagging behind.

Looks good man. Keep us updated.

Now, on your chest day. Incline barbell, right? Is that flat barbell afterwards as well?

I like it

hey man, looks awesome but wouldn't you want to make deads 5x5 on back day?

Thats the way needsize had it in his original layout i think

I would do close grip bench for a 5x5 on your tri day.

Agreed, and I might drop Flat Bench from your chest day entirely, seeing as how you're doing plenty of Incline and Dips, as well. Do you really feel that there's something Flat will hit that Incline and Dips didn't?

Why are you doing the 2x10s?
Two sets isn't enough i don't think/.

Why are you doing the 2x10s? 2 sets isn't enough i dont think./

Because that is how the 5x5 routine is layed out. 5x5 and 2 2x8-10, thats 9 sets total, how isn't that enough?

And as for the routine, looks solid, but why no 5x5 close grip?
