How's this routine?

[c3bodybuilding]

I wanted to try a new routine, with a little less volume, but I'm not sure if I have it all together. What do any of you think of this:

Day 1: Chest
Bench Press 4 sets
Incline Press 3 sets
dips 2 sets

Day 2: Back
Chins 4 or 5 sets
Barbell rows 4 sets
deads 3 sets
shrugs 3 sets

day 3 rest

day 4: legs
squats 4 sets
leg ext 2 sets
straight leg deads 3 sets
good mornings or lying leg curl 2 sets
some sort of calf raise 5 sets

Day 5: shoulders and arms
barbell clean and press 4 sets
lat raises 3 sets
rear lat raises 1 set
barbell curl 3 sets
seated dumbbel curls 3 sets
close grip press 3 sets
overhead ext or weighted bench dips 3 sets

Then rest for 2 days before starting it over again.

I left back and chest days by themselves, because after training those two muscle groups I am so wiped out, that I can't do another muscle group too well after. My old routine was working each body part once a week, but each body part by itself once a day, so it took 5 days to rest. I felt I could get better results by putting arms with shoulders, and getting another rest day in. And also I used to do 4 sets each exercise, now I put less sets on some. Any input? I want to put on as much mass as possible. I am 6'3, 240, 11% currently.

1. id say to add another calf session after your chest workout on day 1.

2. i dont like leg extensions much, youd probably get a lot more swapping them for leg presses or lunges.

3. 1 set for rear delts??? dont sell them short, they are part of your shoulder also, go for at least 3 sets.

4. this is just me, but id start off back day with the deads

Thanks! I'll throw in another calf workout on chest day, and try doing deads first.

Wheresd the abs?

I'd switch chest and back day. Usually on the weekend you'll get alot more rest than on a weekday and you have shoulders/arms 2 days after back day then 3 days of rest (2 weekend days) for your next back day. If you switched it you would have 3 weekday days to rest before shoulder/arm day then 2 weekend days to rest before back day. If you did it that way you will probably do a little better since back day will make you alot more sore and require alot more healing than shoulder/arm day. You might not be able to give your 100% when it comes time if you do it your way.
