New routine opinions

What's your explanation on why I'm doing it so wrong?

If your going that hard chances are you are taxing your central nervouse system rather than your muscles.

Nah dude your doing it wrong....

I'm not a power lifter....

It would appear you do not understand the concept of 5x5....

If my1rm was say 140kg I would start my 5x 5 down at 100kg
Add 2.5kg per workout
Train the lift 2 to 3 times a week dependant on what you can handle

Towards the end of the cycle you will need to use whatever it takes to hit your 5x5... Including less/more days in the gym.... Longer/ shorter rest breaks.... Lots and lots of mobility work....

Tricep pushdowns mainly stimulate sarcoplasmic fibres same as flys and you should never train to failure no matter how high the intensity. You want to peak at 6 weeks and back off.
 
I would love to see the physique on this guy.

Its funny nearly all the guys that come into this section spouting the bb pseudo science they end up been 70kg manlets. While the natty big units (bigjim, pistachio and the like) all lift heavy and follow tried and true programs

Just an observation and for the record I'm not talking about oz and goose, I follow your logic no problem.
