Critique new 5day routine

thanks for the input guys

oak - i will start with 5 sets of the main exercise, then maybe 3 sets each of a few easier ones, aiming for between 13 - 15 sets for each bodypart
How long you been doing it, and what other exercises do you do after the big ones?

debaser - my recovery has been pretty good so i want to aim for something that will allow me to lift more often and focus more on a specific area each workout. I did squats today, 2 days after deads, and although my lower back was still a little sore, it was still easily strong enough to handle the squats, which is one my weakest lifts so im not using a ton of weight.

im gonna give this a shot for while, and mess around for it as i go

i do 2-4 exersises per muscle, same days as you..

mon - flat bench
incline
incline DB
overhead ext
shrugs

tue - squat
leg press
leg curl
barbell curl
calf work

wed - rest

thrus - military behind
DB military
upright rows
skull crushers
one hand DB ext

fri - barbell row
deadlift
pull up
barbell curl
hammer curl
forearm work

3 warm up sets for the first movement of each major muscle,
then 3-4 heavy sets (2-6 reps).. one warm up set for ever other movement, 3 sets of 6-10

it works out nice, i dont think its alot.

or, sometimes ill switch i up and do 5x5 of the first movements.
i do instinctive training, so, i tend to change up the reps.. i still to the same muscles as you though.. but i do feel that i need to do bicep and tricep work twice a week, there are times where ill jsut do once a week. i dunno, but i just got back from doin delts and tris and im all jacked up, i really dont know what im saying..i have to eat brb...
 
thanks for the reply Oak , yeah i know how the post workout typing can be, kinda like ritalin

that looks legit and what i envision mine to be like, except without the hammie/lowerback day which ive never tried but is what realy made me switch up the routine, felt like my hammies and loweback were getting no play except for deads and squats

throw in some face pulls bro you wont regret it !
 
looks very solid, only prob i see is the deads then bench then squat three in a row, way to fatigue the entire body in 72 hours. Perhaps a rest day should be put in there as needed, and get rid of the rest after squats
 
sorry to bump this back up, but im starting monday and just wanted to smooth it out early on.

is it better to train shoulders before back or the other way around?

should i keep it how it is, with shoulders, then upperback, then lower/hams OR change it to go upper, shoulders, lower/hams

this would let upper back rest a bit so it would be stronger for deads

which effects the other more, training shoulders with a sore upperback or training a upperback with sore shoulders ?

any input appreciated
 
alrite thanks a lot hammer, thats what i was leaning towards but needed an outside opinion , the voices in my head were battling
