/sup/ fit

I plan on doing the following 5 days a week:

SQUATZ 5x5
deadlifts 3x8 (prolly switch this to 5x5 once i feel my back has built up a little more)
dumb bell bench press 5x5
leg curls & extensions 3x10
pull ups 3x as many as i can
dips 3x as many as i can

i'm not interested in your OMG OVERTRAINING bullshit, i've done 5 day a week full body lifting before with squats/deadlifts/bench press and made great gains. and i just don't buy in to overtraining being as easy as some people make it out to be.

What I want to know is, are there any exercises you feel i should add or subtract from this, i know it lacks any direct ab work, would SQUATZ be sufficient?

subtract leg curlz and extensions - redundant w/ squats and dl's

add overhead press

maybe do powercleans instead of DL's 2-3 days a week

and maybe do a little more research about overtraining and especially periodized training - although you might not be killing yourself with this schedule, adding some active rest days may give you even bigger gains then you had before.

i know Waterbury agrees about 4-5 day full body training being effective. and some olympic lifters will lift up to 3 times a day 6 days a week. and in my personal experience, i've made gains lifting 5 days a week as i said earlier. I did landscaping for the summer; string trimming/ hedge trimming 5-6 days a week 8-10 hours a day and got huge traps as a result. if essentially doing an upright row all day for 3-4 months with a 20-35lb piece of equipment isn't overtraining then i dunno what would be. If i see positive results, i'm not going to change what i'm doing. if i do this and only stall or stay the same, i'll make changes.
