Just my opinion but I was looking for a similar new routine. First I was gonna go with DC training but found it too difficult to do w/out a training partner. I decided on 5x5 and on the second workout pulled my back and been off for about 5 days now. I found that to really be exhausted on the fifth rep you need to really put up some weight and at my age it aint worth the injury. I now am gonna do a 4 day workout. Mon and Thur Biceps, calves, shoulders, triceps (thur will have more drop sets, supersets and rest pauses) Tues and Fri Back Chest H/S Quads Traps with Fri having more Drops sets, supersets, and rest pauses. I plan to keep a log to track the increase of reps or weight amounts. Thurs and Fri exercises are different (where possible) than what was done on Mon and Tues. Plan is to keep the S/S d/S and R/P principles at the end of the week for more recovery time. Most bodyparts get 8-10 sets of 2-3 exercises in the 8-12 rep range. ABS are done every mon,wed,fri. (one exercise each day crunches, roman chair crunches, rope pull down crunches)
I wish you luck and know that tons of people had luck with the 5x5 but it just wasn't right for me so this is the mess I came up with laying here on my frickin back.
