Hey Tom, thanks for sending in your program, looks very solid to me, not much I would tinker with there, I would stick with the same exercise for at least 2 and probably more appropriately 3 weeks in this phase of training so you can at least get an adaptation to the exercise rather than changing each week, also I would stay out of the Smith machine if you can and do the power work with bars instead, just a personal thing but I feel you get a more natural feel to the movement rather than running up and down on rails, also I would increase a set each week on the monday and friday workouts, then change the movements and start again at 3 x 5, thus increasing volume over time, I also might swap friday and wednesdat around so you are fresh lower body wise for training on Saturday, cheers Tom, go well, ashley
