5x5 then 5x3 or 3x5( i cant remember, its been over a year) when you plataue, that worked OK for me. But my body responds best to really low volume, so whats been working for me for a while is 4x5 of either bench or dead, and then 3-4 sets of asisstance compound excersizes(two different lifts, 2 sets each). I also take close to 3 minutes in between each set, depending on my mood. This has been working great for me. I would ussually have a third day of the same thing but squats, but my weeks always felt akward. Im currently getting lots of leg work from just walking around campus and riding my bike, so I just say screw legs(they get hit pretty hard with deadlifts anyways, i make my back straight and lift with my legs). the two day split feels great. I also do boxing twice a week(good calf and some quad work). I just spread it all out, dont stick to a certain thing on certain days of the week, so each week im doing something different on a different day. i kind of go by how I feel, but the general outline is bench,rest,box,rest,dead,rest....then rest again,bench. or " "...then box,rest,bench. As you can see its not set up for 7 days.
