Hello mate,

I'm not sure if i would start with the 5 x 5 routine personally but i'm on  this workout and within the 2 months i've had very good gains.

monday-
Wide arm pull ups - 3 x 8
Barbell 21's (3 sets)
DB ROW - 3 x 8
Hammer Curls 3 x 8

weds-
Weighted Tricep dips 3 x 8
Bench 3 x 8
Shoulder press 3 x 8
Skull crushers 3 x 8
Tricep pull downs 3 x 8


friday-
deads 3 x 8
Squats 3 x 8
Seated Leg press (better for failure) 3 x 8

weds-
Weighted Tricep dips 3 x 8
Bench 3 x 8
Shoulder press 3 x 8
Skull crushers 3 x 8
Tricep pull downs 3 x 8

Three direct tricep exercises and only one chest and shoulder exercise?  Doesn't seem well planned at all considering they are larger muscle groups than triceps and the fact that triceps will be worked to a certain extent whilst working the chest and shoulders.  If you enjoy this workout then fine but I wouldn't recomend it to someone else.
 
The following would be better IMO:
 
Flat bench press
Incline bench press
Shoulder press
(dumbell raises aswell if you like)
Skull crushers

I saw some good advice from Drewsky the other day on creating a full body routine.  Each day you have a compound exercise for push, pull and legs, and then also add in an isolation move of your choice.  Something like the following:
 
Monday
Squats
DB rows
Flat bench press
Skullcrushers
 
Wednesday
Chins
Incline bench press
Leg press
DB curls
 
Friday
Deadlifts
Shoulder press
Lunges
Side lateral raises
 
 
Hope this helps mate.

Yeah if you do Dips try the lean forward dips to emphasize the chest.
As Powerhouse said each to there own and depends what you find works for you.

I sometimes do  an exercise (can't remember the name) but where you lie on the bench, hold a dumbell by your chest with two hands and then bring it up from your chest then back behind your head, down then back up to the beginning position. Found thats helped with my lower chest.

With Skull Crushers make sure you have someone spotting you to get the best technique.

I do DB press for bench as i was suffering from a shoulder injury and find standard bench aggravates it and find i can get a better stretch with DB press.

It may take you a few weeks to find out what you like and what helps you gain but keep us informed.

Thanks Lads,will try one of the routines suggested.
