Hello all.

I've been doing 5x5 Reg Park for a long time, but I've changed it a bit for some weeks now. In the original version of 5x5 you do a full body workout of two compounds and three assisting moves. Scott's 'tricked out triceps' video inspired me to mix it up. The routine is explained below.

Question

My question is: this will target every muscle group just one time a week. Will this be enough or should I keep it at full body Reg Park?

Routine

Day one:

Bench Press 5x5 (Strength)

Bench Press 3x10 (Slow negative, gains)

Weighted Dips 5x5 (Strength)

Diamond Push-ups 3x10 (Slow negative, gains)

Skull Crushers 3x10 (Slow negative, gains)

Day two:

Deadlift 5x5 (Strength)

Chin-ups 5x5 (Strength)

Pull-ups 3x10 (Slow negative, gains)

Barbell Rows (Slow negative, gains)

Barbell Curls (Slow negative, gains)

Day three:

Back squats 5x5 (Strength)

Front squats 5x5 (Strength)

Jump squats 5x5 (Strength)

Sissy squats 3x10 (Slow negative, gains)

Pistol squats 3x5 (Strength)

Calf Raises 3x15 (Slow negative, gains)

This routine looks great man and you'll definitely see size and strength gains with this kind of hybrid routine. My suggestion for you is to hit this cycle twice a week or at least do a 3 days on, 1 day off split so every 8 days you're doing two cycles. That'll definitely insure that you're hitting all of the muscle groups often enough. Hope that helps!
