5x5, not 2, but 3 different workouts

[Dschingis]

Hi,

is it recommended that the monday and friday workouts has to be the "same"?


Original 5*5
Monday:

Olympic Squats 5x5 (same weight)
Benching 5x5 (flat, close grip or regular)(same weight)
JS Rows 5x5 (same weight)
Accessory (low volume triceps and abs)

Wednesday:

Olympic Squats 5x5 (reduced 15-20% from Monday) or Front Squats 5x5
Standing Military Press 5x5 (same weight)
Deadlifts 5x5 (same weight) (if you pull 2.5x bodyweight do 3x5)
Pull ups 5x5 (use weight if you need it)
Accessory (biceps and abs)

Friday:

Olympic Squats 5x5 (working up each set)
Benching 5x5 (flat or incline)(same weight)
Rows 5x5 (same weight)
Accessory (low volume triceps and abs)


My Question:

Monday
Olympic Squats 5x5 (same weight)
Benching 5x5 (flat, close grip or regular)(same weight)
JS Rows 5x5 (same weight)
accessory

Wednesday
Olympic Squats 5x5 (reduced 15-20% from Monday) or Front Squats 5x5
Standing Military Press 5x5 (same weight)
Deadlifts 5x5 (same weight) (if you pull 2.5x bodyweight do 3x5)
other exercises moved to friday
accessory

Friday
Olympic Squats 5x5 (working up each set)
Inclinebenching 5x5 (same weight)
Pull ups 5x5 (use weight if you need it)
accessory


Changed things are marked bold.

Would this be possible, or would it hinder?

Why would you want to do that? The program works like a charm the way it´s laid out.

I wanted to lower the stress on wednesday. Instead of 4 main exercises, it would be 3. But i just saw a few minutes ago, that this would lead to some serious dysbalances in the shoulder region, because the incline doesn´t have a counterrow.

Another question. Would it be preferable to use the same exercises at monday and friday, or is it "okay" to use flat on M, inlince on F, and JSrows on M, and other rows on F?

as i was told having asked the same questions, it's fine to flat on M and incline on friday, and the same goes for the rows because JS rows are the rows of choice, but it doesn't mean you have to choose those rows,,, though personally i think anyone would be crazy not too,, what variation are you planning on using friday?

I would use monday flat bench and jsrows. And Friday Incline and normal bent over rows with narrow grip. Would this be okay?

I don't see why that would be a problem, the fact is you're still rowing, and not with a machine.
