    Hello, I am doing a 5x5 very similar to Bill star's program.

    Monday
    Squat 5x5 ramped. Top set is Friday's weight for 5 reps.
    Bench 5x5 ramped. Top set is Friday's weight for 5 reps.
    Weighted Chinups 3 sets. LP
    Weighted Dips 3x5 LP

    Wednesday
    Squat 80% 5x5
    Press 5x5
    Deadlift 1x5
    Weighted Chinups 3 sets. LP

    Friday
    Squat 5x5 ramped. Top set is Mondays weight +5lbs.
    Bench 5x5 ramped. Top set is Mondays weight +5lbs.
    Weighted Chinups 3 sets. LP
    Weighted Dips 3x5 LP.


    I have three sessions of chinups as I try to get better at them.

    How does this look? Do I overdo it with the dips? Does it matter that I dont have vertical rows?

    Thank you.

    Don't know what a vertical row is, so no, I guess it doesn't matter. I'm not sure I totally understand your weight progression on squat and bench, but overall I think your program is totally fine.
