why is there a choice between incline bench and military press?

theres a choice so you can focus more on chest if you want to w/ incline. if youre using a standard 'incline bench' at the gym, the angle is enough that your shoulders get some indirect work as well.

wats the difference between bill star and mad cows 5x5 routines ??

there is no difference, they are the same routine.

is it bad to supplement squats with walking lunges??

the program is a 'cookie cutter' program, meaning simple w/ very very minimal adjustment. just do it like it says. if it doesnt say 'add walking lunges' then dont.

or wat bout doing incline 2 times a week mon & fri and flat bench on wed ???

keep the flat bench on day 1 and 3, incline on day 2 .
