    While I agree that you should definitely focus on compound movements (and that will go for damn near every routine), but the OP has been lifting for several years. I would think at this point in the game it is time to get off the standard 5x5 and incorporate the moves into an intermediate or advanced plan. I can't imagine him only wanting to do a beginner 5x5 at this point.

    I would concur. A person who is an intermediate lifter does not need to or probably will not benefit as much from a standard 3 day a week full body workout. At some point, increasing volume is going to be required to advance your self (volume can be reps, sets, times per week, etc...)

    Also, here because of the comedy!
