I added shrugs to shoulders and though i orig. had them in the first 5x5 i never did them for some reason. do you think its a bit much for that workout? again, same for the leg press that i added for legs.

Why isolate your arms? The 5x5 looks good but why not just stick with the 3 day routine

I've given up on DC, and yes its only been 1 week of doing it but too much shit has gone wrong while i was trying it out. .

What went wrong with the DC?
