I would say 12-16 weeks of the 5x5 is sufficient to see good gains and then hit hypertrophy for the volume you desire.

good luck with the shows brother, keep up the good work

Hey there, I feel like my delts have been REALLY lacking overall in comparison to my chest.
Can you recommend any routine that'll help in their growth? Hypertrophy routine atm

First paragraph is a question, last paragraph is a bit of a question, second paragraph is an update on the back (can be ignored):

Any recommendation on supplements that would help tendon and ligament repair? I am seeing my doctor really soon, but I'd love to just do about anything I can for my shoulder.

My upper back is feeling a ton better, looking right no longer hurts at all, looking left only *slightly* has a bit of strain when I turn my head as far as I can left. Looking down still makes my upper back feel a tad sore, but it's all good. I figure my upper back problem will be all fixed up probably within a few weeks, and probably won't be noticeable within a couple days (I'm going to get back at arm day and leg day and I'll skip my subsequent chest and back days). I've been stretching out just doing a couple wide pullups at a time (literally 2 at a time every hour) and doing some stretches.

Getting back to my more permanent injury (the one that feels like my front left delt but might be deeper idk): That's why I'm asking about any supps that might help. I'm really trying to hit my shoulder where it hurts very lightly every day and supplement my diet in ways that would help repair. Since rest never helped it, and since it seems to have gotten better as of late, I'm thinking it might be because I've been taking multivits and because I've been exercising very carefully with it: maybe if I keep on letting it sting a little with workouts and work out carefully with it, it'll repair. Maybe when it's left static (just resting) repair isn't being stimulated? Just an idea? Or am I crazy?

Should I do 12-16 weeks then a deload? Or sooner? Or should I just take a complete week off?
Never really "deloaded" before so I would also need some help with that. Lol

Also let me know every supplement I should be taking. I'm gonna be following your diet, routine, supplementation to the T
I wanna see how this stuff works out for me.
And as for the diet should I lower calories on the weekend when I'm resting? Or keep them in for maximum recovery?

Hello again, was wondering if you could help me on some abs.
i believe i have potential, its just my stomach.. wen i go into a push-up position my excess skin hangs loose

Several reasons.

1. You need to continue losing bodyfat...the abs are generally the LAST thing to show on a cut - be patient!

2. You need to train core more deeply. Read up here:
