5x5 question for needsize

[brugunz]

I just started the 5x5 routine today. My question is for my back routine. I understand that I should be doing 5x5 for deadlifts, but what about for chins? I really need to concentrate on my chins, because I have a fairly thick back but my overall width needs to improve. Should I do 5X5 for chins or deadlifts, or both? Thanks bro.

When I started, I did 5x5 for both deads then chins, in that order. Worked great for me.

Thank you bro. I'll be doing the deads and chins both with 5x5.

honestly I would only do one 5x5 exercise per bodypart, myself I overtrain if I do more. If you were going to do it that way, do 5x5 on weighted chins, and deads as an 8 rep exercise

ns, what exercises do you like the 5*5 for? here is what i run at 5*5. let me know if this is good, i do other exercises for the body part, but i use 5*5 as listed for the respective part;

flat and incline bench/straight bar
close grip bench
skull crusher
standing dumbells
standing easy curl/straight bar curls
squats
deads
t bar rows
bent rows
lat pull downs

of course i train everythjing at different times, and put in more exercises, but this is what i run the 5*5 at
