Adivce for new routine

Decided to redesign my current weight lifting routine. Looking mainly for strength and some size. Here is what I came up with so far. It's going to be a 4 day split, I just have not created a leg routine yet. I am thinking maybe I should add another exercise on cheast day but I don't know what. Tell me what you think.

Back/Biceps

Deadlift 3 sets 5-8 reps
Barbell Row 3 sets 5-8 reps
Pullups 3 sets (as many as I can do)
Barbell Curls 3 sets 5-8 reps
Preacher Curls 2 sets 8 - 10 reps
Concentration Curls 2 sets 8 -10 reps

Shoulders

Military Press 3 sets 5-8 reps
Lateral Raises 3 Sets 8-10 reps
Shrugs 3 Sets 5-8 reps
Will add rotator cuff exercises

Cheast/Tris

Incline DB Press 3 sets 5-8 reps
Flat Bench Press 3 sets 5-8 reps
Dips 3 sets, max reps on each
Tricep Pulldown 2 sets 8-10 reps
 
On Chest/Tri day, is the exercise Dips parallel bar dips or just bench dips? Parallel Bar dips would be a good exercise to add for your chest, it'd work your tris good too.

Leg Routine (suggestion)
Squat or Leg Press 3 x 5-8 reps
Leg Extensions 2 x 8-10
Leg Curls 3 x 8-10

I'd normally include Stiff Legged Deadlifts, but you are already doing deads on workout 1. Only a suggestion, I'm not sure if you're able to squat or not. :fro:

"Where you going Shaft?"
"To Get Laid...."

Ever watch the old Shaft vids?
 
Well you're off to a good start; I'd personally add some reverse flies or upright rows to the end your shoulder day, both of these will exhaust the shoulders and hit up the traps. Your chest/tri day could use another tricep isolation exercise maybe toss in a couple sets of skull-crushers.

Post your leg day when you come up with it!

Good luck,
Ingram

Well you have the same amount of bicept work as you do back work. Id drop to just 1 or maybe 2 exercises for biceps(you are working back that usings lots of bis)
For back I do almost the same...

Deadlifts
Pullovers
Curl grip chins
rows
shrugs
 
Squats are fine for me and I like your leg workout suggestion USMC. Dips are bench dips because I don't have the bars to do the other kind. I am working out my garage so I don't have everything available. The other tricep exercise I used to do were kickbacks but I don't like those too much, perhaps I will give skull-crushers a try. If I were to drop a bicep exercise which one would you guys recommend? I really like standing curls but I have no preference when it comes to preacher curls or concentration curls. Abs will be put in here somewhere, I just haven't decided where yet. Maybe some calve exercises but not really sure there either. Thanks for the replies people!
 
BB curls is fine...

all bicep exercises are simply curls anyway. Just stick to these.

Put calf work with your legs.

Legs

squat if possible or BB hack squats
lunges with a BB
SLDL

Basic leg program.
