Some criticism of routine...

SportInjection

New member
Monday: Chest
5x5 - 215lbs flat bench
3x8 - incline
3x8 - dips (weighted)

Tuesday: Legs
5x5 - 265lbs squats
3x10 - calve raises
3x8 - leg extension
3x8 - leg curl
front squats...?

Wednesday: Back
5x5 - deadlifts
3x8 - barbel shrugs
3x8 - pull ups (lat - reverse grip)
3x8 - pull ups (back)
3x8 - barbel rows

Thursday: Shoulders
5x5 - behind the neck press
3x8 - military press (or should I 5x5?)
3x8 - front lateral raises
3x8 - up right row

Friday: Arms
5x5 - dumbell curls
3x8 - hammer curls
3x8 - close grip bench
3x8 - tricep
wrist curls?

Can someone check out this routine for me please and give it any criticism.
My other question is about military press and behind the neck press. I used to do it with the back support bench, but I read somewhere (possibly needsize..?) saying that it's better doing them standing up (military press) or sitting down. The only choice I would have would be sitting down (wihout back supporTt)because I'd hit the ceiling in my basement (i think..). Any comments?

Thanks,
Peter
 
1. I think you should take an extra day off and throw in Tris with chest and Bis with back.
2. Leg day you should do calf raises last
3. Rows shouldn't really be done last since they are pretty intense, i recommend doing them after dead or pullups.
4. Wrist curls you can do on back day since you're working the forarms most that day.
 
5 days in a row?????

You are squatting on Tuesday then pulling on Wednesday???

Monday- legs
tuesday- shoulders/bicep
wednesday-off
thursday-chest/tricep
friday-back

i assume you are doing 5x5 and don't train on the weekend?
 
You don't really need both military press and behind the neck press, they're almost the same. Also, I'd drop those accessory 3x8 sets to just 2x8 since you're doing 5x5.
 
Agree with al of the above, drop the volume and re-arrange things a bit. 5x5 gets tough, and I think you would burn out on what you have there.

I would say drop doing both pull-up in that same session. Alternate each session if you like them both.

I also dont think you will need shugs after doing 5x5 deads once your weight builds up
