I'm Going to be Starting a new routine and have been reading about the 5x5 training split and want to try it. In searches I see that most people when the post are doing to much volume so I tried to avoid that but I want to make sure I'm doing enough volume.
My stats
age 26
Ht 5'9
Weight 203
BF 17%
I've been working out for 4 yrs and have lost 70lbs in the last 2 years and cut my body fat from 39% I've never had a real training program just M-F diffrent body part per day.

I'm going to incease the weight between 5-10lbs per week. For cardio I'm going to do 30min on the eliptical machine or treadmill Tues Wensday.
I'm supplementing with a multi vitamin, creatine (before and after training)
Tyrosine (1g) and CLA (4g) I'm planning on doing this for 4-8 weeks.
The other thing that I have a question about is how long I should rest between sets?
Thanks for the help in advance
 
it's a good routine but if i were you i would put back and bi's together and legs and shoulders together aswell... that will take away your sunday program...
