    Need help/advice for my own program

    Former Strong dude, not really interested in being strong, kinda want a routine that doesn't affect daily manual work and other sports like boxing. Trying to make a routine that doesn't affect too much and isnt obsessive, but that gets the job done. What you think. I'm not a noob, my best lift is squat at 440 lbs.

    My philosophy is basicall that two 5x5s in one day is too much. I try to spread them out, I also want priority on back and shoulders and not on chest. My ass got way too big with my squats.


    1 Deadlift 5x5- >
    2 Rest
    3 OHP 5x5 -> Pull ups - > Shoulder Exercies (Lateral Raise, Skipole thing, Front Plate Raise) -> Curls
    4 Rest/Cardio/Farmer Walk
    5 Rest/Cardio
    6 Squat 5x5 - >
    7 Rest
    8 Bench 5x5 - > Chin up -> Tricep (Dips, Closegrip Bench, Pushup, Skull Crusher)
    9 Rest/Cardio
    10 Rest/Cardio

    5/3/1 sounds like it would suit you.

    I know it seems attractive on paper to make a routine as simple as possible - but this approach is seldom the best. If you don't want to spend time thinking about fatigue management, progression, periodization etc. then just let a routine like 5/3/1 handle that all for you.

    I'm not interested in 5/3/1 because i'm not trying to build strength, I already know how to build strength and I preferred the Texas Method. Im not interestedi n being really strong anymore and I dont have any desire/motivation for 1.5/2hours workouts with two grueling 5x5 sets in it, i just want something to very slowly improve/maintain, while still having energy to do other sports
