Madcow 5x5 Modified

Madcow 5x5 uses a light-medium-heavy 3-day rotation every week where days 1 and 3 are the same workouts. I liked the volume for squats compared to stronglifts, but didn’t like the imbalance of squats/bench vs OHP/deadlift every week. I kept the A/B day rotation from stronglifts but used the squat volume from Madcow. Do what you want for accessory work, I just picked things I enjoy.
