    Rear Delt Work and Novice 5x5?

    I'm starting Jason's ICF Novice 5x5 tomorrow. I've been doing a push/pull/leg split 2x a week for the last 4 months but I think this programme will give me better results atm. I used to have some pretty bad rotator cuff/shoulder imbalance problems but but when I started at the gym again 4 months ago doing rear delt and rotator work helped get my shoulders completely back to normal. On jason's 5x5 there's not really any rear delt work, do you think this is ok? or should I do my rotator/rear delt work on my off days? I just don't want any old problems to flair up again.

    add in rear delt work every workout day, your RC will thank you and it's going to hinder any progress you'll make

    I do rear delt flies 3x a week.

    Why wouldn't it be ok? I'd do it after the last exercise of the day.

    The only reason I ask is just because most people tell you not to change the routine up and just leave it as it is.

    That's because noobs don't have any programming experience. If they think it's okay to change one "small" thing, the next thing that happens is that before long, they're doing nothing but Bench and Curls. And abs.

    Just like ironwill2008 stated, beginners shouldn't be doing major changes because they might end up messing things up due to the lack of experience.
    But adding a single accessory movement because it was very beneficial for you in the past is a smart move and totally fine.

    True, I fell into that trap when I first started lifting in college and after a year I had rotator cuff issues. Took 10 months with no weights (5 months of which was physio) to get back to normal. I made sure I did a lot of research beforehand this time but I'm still learning a lot at the moment though.

    All pros's is good, but not the same as jason's 5x5 which is just stronglifts with a hell of unneeded isolation lifts for a beginner.

    So if a beginner is looking to get strong fast...starting strength, geared towards athletes with the power clean, or Stronglifts, geared towards 'bodybuilders' with the rows.

    I ran SS with rows instead of cleans and not a fcuk was given.

    stronglifts also have more volume than SS which if you want more volume is the way to go.

    I agree but I gave him all pro's so that he can have variety of options to choose from.
    I did SS with Pendlay Rows too. I only power clean when I'm trying to do overhead press and the rack is busy

    I'd agree with you to start with, as a total novice will barely hypertrophy (due to huge neural adaptation), so there is little to no point doing any accessory work. May as well just stick to the big lifts with starting strength. After this though, the argument is ss / stronglifts do not provide enough direct bicep work, and skullcrushers are superior for hitting the long head of the triceps compared to your standard press movements. As for the lower back / core work, this is a very beneficial thing, and even ss advocates adding in core work after a point.
    Jason also notes that he has not provided sets for calves or forearms as this varies considerably person to person, so he leaves it to the trainee to figure out how they need to train them and add them in.
    The idea is that, for an aspiring bodybuilder, adding in the accessory work fairly early on will prevent potential imbalances that could be expected if one runs starting strength or stronglifts for 6 months. For the OP, adding in rear delt work is just another such bit of accessory work.
