needsizes 5x5 question

[ZGzaZ]

I am going to give needsize's routine a try, but I had a question...

For Chest, I'm going to do:

Flat Bench 5x5
and incline flies 2x8-10

but was wondering...for my other secondary exercise, can i do incline barbell??? or should I just stick with incline dumbells??? I would rather do incline barbells, as I normally get a little better pump from them...

Barbell is fine, I just find that most benches for incline barbell are too steep (anything more than a 30-40 degree incline is hitting more delts than shoulders). If your bench is too steep and doesnt adjust, you can throw a few plates under the foot of the bench to lower the angle

More delts than chest, you mean.

thanks Needsize, I appreciate the quick feedback! One more question for ya though, I did 5x5 the other day not having anthing to do with your routine, and did 185 5x5 on bench with only a little trouble on the last few reps...where do you think I should start your prog at??? 165 or 170 sound good, then add 5 a week?

170-175 should do fine, juts concentate on kepping the reps slow and in control
