Whats the difference and would I benefit?

[Guv'nor]

Could somebody explain to me if I'd benefit from doing 5x5?

I'm currently bulking and it is going well but I just wondered if I could speed the process up a tad going to 5x5 or something similar?

Below are my two upper body days.

Workout 1 (Monday) - Upper body

ROW 1KM.
Incline DB (DB) bench press 3x10
Barbell Row 3x10
Wide-Grip Weighted Dips 3x10
CG-PI Weighted Chins 3x10
Military Press 3x10
Close Grip Bench Press 3x10
Preecher Curls 3 x10
Crunches 3x10


Workout 3 (Thursday) - Upper body
Incline DB press 3x10
Flat (DB) Bench press 3x10
Cable row 3x10
Seated Cable Row 3 x10
V-Bar Pushdowns 3x10
Barbell curl 3x10
Close Grip Bench Press 3x10
Crunches 3x10

At the moment I do 3x10 on most of the exercises. I'll start off with a weight and stick to it until I can get above 7 reps on the last set and then I will up it. Is this a good way of doing things or is there a better method?

Thanks

EDIT - I do 2 warm up sets ,at half weight, of 10 reps.

The 5 x 5 routines are based around full body Strength gains..

Are you looking to bulk up with increasing your strength?

Personally I would say there is far to much work in your current routine.. How has this gone for you so far? have you made much bulk?

Also what are you doing for legs? (Did you know training hard on legs will catalyst growth on your upper body!!!)

Also to ensure your benefitting from the bulk exercises you need to be eating for a bulk too?

I have gained a fair bit of mass with this workout. I do eat like a horse, it's basically just a check up to make sure i'm doing things properly as most of the guidance I have had has been off the net!

My lower body workout is currently paused due to a knee injury I picked up playing football.

I'll try and type it up in a bit, it consists of deads,squats etc.
