I was actually considering modifying the original 5x5 program, I'm just not really for sure on how I would want to modify it. Im not going to squat 3 times a week though lol, I did that over christmas break when I was at home working and it really helped out my squat, but it seemed since so much of my energy went to squatting, all my other lifts went down, just my experience. Also I dont think there would be anyway right now that I would be able to bench and squat in the same day with enough intensity, after I am done with a core exercise that I hit as hard as possible, there is no way the other exercise will get the amount of intensity it needs, I dont think.

I was also considering making an A and B workout, like workout A would be chest/shoulders/tris, and workout B would be legs/back/bis, and just alternate them through M/W/F, so the first week you would do workout A twice, on monday and friday, workout B on wednesday, and the following week workout B would be done on both Monday and Friday, with workout A being on wednesday, kind of based this idea off of doggcrap training, I've never tried it and really dont know what to think of it, I doubt you guys are big fans of it lol.

If you could help me set up a modified 5x5 program to suit my needs that would be great, I just dont know how to adjust it because I really dont know how squatting and benching in the same day would be for me, I mean hell, right now I am tired when I get to the gym before I even start warming up, so Im not real sure on how I would make it through 2 core exercises in one day plus accessories.
