for example, when i roll my shoulders, doing shrugs and so, i get like a ticking in my shoulder/neck.
/would doing push ups and shrugs w/o weights ruin my results from the 5x5 program?
i was planning on doing abs, push ups and squats w/o weight in the end of the workout, monday, wednesday and friday. maybe you have any exercises for the lower back? maybe good mornings?
DO NOT ROLL YOUR SHOULDERS DURING SHRUGS!!! Straight up and straight down is the proper way to do a shrug. Rolling the shoulders can cause injury and does NOT aid in muscle development.
Doing non-weighted exericses will not ruin your results. However, I would NOT advise doing them immediately at the end of a workout where you just trained the same muscles. IE: no pushups on chest day, no unweighted squats on legs days. Abs are good to train ANY day.
For lower back, good mornings are excellent, straight leg deadlifts are also excellent. Lower back hyperextensions are another very good exercise.
