    Weighted decline sit-up (3x10)
    Stretching (20 minutes)

    Tuesday

    Medicine ball tosses (20 minutes)
    Stationary bike (40 minutes)
    Stretching (20 minutes)

    Wednesday

    Military Press (5x5)
    Pull-up (5x5)
    Deadlift (5x5)
    Torso twist (3 times)
    Stretching (20 minutes)

    Thursday

    Medicine ball tosses (20 minutes)
    Stationary bike (40 minutes)
    Stretching (20 minutes)

    Friday

    Dumbbell press (5x5)
    Renegade row (5x5)
    Squat (5x5)
    Bicycle crunch (3 times)
    Stretching (20 minutes)

    I've lifted somewhat seriously for about a year, maybe a year and a half. I just got back into it after taking the summer off to focus on golf.

    So basically you too what was a really good general strength routine, added a bunch of stuff, deleted some good stuff, rearranged things until it basically doesn't resemble the original at all, and now you are asking if your changes will help you meet the goals of the original better?

    Lets see............... the answer is.......... .NO!!!

    The only change I would make to the original for improving the golf game directly would be to add the Olympic lifts back in for the explosive power component.

    On the off days I might add some pre-hab type of exercises for the rotator cuff to prevent future injury.

    * Monday: Bench press, bent-over rows, squat and deadlift;


    * Wednesday: Weighted dips, weighted chin-ups, deadlift and hanging leg raises (just 2 sets of 5 reps for the leg raises);


    * Friday: incline bench press, front squat, glute/hamstring raise; renegade row (with dumbbells or kettlebells), and saxon sidebends;
    This is the original 5x5 routine I found.
