Too much? Not enough? Should I throw in low weight, high rep days or cycle those exercises in same day?

Thanks again!
 
2nd cycle.

The first was dbol+test e @ 10 weeks.

Kept nearly 20 lbs with this workout more or less. I felt I could've done better with both the workout and diet.
 
It looks good but if it was me I change 5 sets to 3. I keep my sets 3 sets 6-8reps and some drop sets on weaker body parts not all. For me 5 sets it's too much with all those angles ur hitting for each body part. I like to feel that I'm using the weight I can handle the most with proper form than go all out for one exercise and the rest not hit ur potential
 
Think the 5x5 may be over training with the drops and negs?

Why the 6-8 rep range? I was always under the impression that the 4-5 range was optimal for mass gain.

Definitely agree with proper form. Jacked my shoulders up ego lifting on the presses. Live and learn
 
Damn front raises using 135...your delts must be bigger than your head if you're using proper form!
 
I dunno how you could do chest the day after shoulders... I've got no problem with your rep ranges but it'd make more sense as:
Monday LEGS
Tuesday CHEST
Wednesday OFF
Thursday BACK
Friday DELTS/ARMS

6-12 rep range and 3-5 set range @ 75-85% intensity level is best for optimal size gains.
