    Workout programme thoughts

    Hey guys, just abit of background. I'm not exactly new to lifting but definitely still a beginner and wanted thoughts/input on what I'm currently running.

    Squat 3x5
    Overhead Press 3x5
    Pendlay rows 3x5
    Bench press 3x5
    Deadlift 1x5
    Ez bar curls 2x8/10/12

    Adding 2.5kg/5lbs to each exercise if I'm able to complete the sets and reps on the previous workout. Unless I found it a real struggle I'll work at getting 4x5 before adding the weight and going back to 3x5.

    Current lifts are
    Squat - 100kg/220lbs
    Overhead press - 42.5kg/93lbs
    Pendlay row - 75kg/165lbs
    Bench press - 70kg/155lbs
    Deadlift - 130kg/285

    I've definitely made progress however was just looking for any input on what people may change themselves in the same position or what they'd do differently.

    There’s nothing inherently wrong with what you’re doing.

    Eventually you’ll need to spread the volume out, so eventually an upper/lower split will probably be better.

    You should incorporate pull-ups or pulldowns though. Back needs vertical and horizontal pulling for optimal development.

    Keep doing what you're doing as long as you progress. Eventually, it will be too tough mentally and physically to do those movements all in the same day but you'll probably know when you reach that point.

    Look into a 5x5 variation once you've milked it.
