Reply With QuoteIt actually looks pretty good to me, though I would probably cut down some of the volume on the deadlifts on back day and shift it to your pulling movements. You're already doing RDLs on leg day, so it would be better to pump up the volume for your other pulling movements instead. It's nice to see you prioritized your leg day too. Good call.

New Routine Maybe
think i have figured out a new training program,instead of the 5 day 2 day off,i noticed this one,what do you think.as my last program was needing changed for the better i was told.
Programme 2 is a more traditional three day split which focuses on getting bigger and stronger in the major compound exercises. In isolation this routine would be ideal for trainers of all levels.
This programme incorporates the 5x5 training method which was originally developed by Reg Park. The 5x5 method involves completing 5 sets of 5 reps, using the same resistance. That's the goal. However, if you've chosen the proper weight, you won't be able to do 5 sets of 5, at least not initially. Typically, if you've chosen the correct weight, the workout would look like this:
Set 1: 5x100 pounds
Set 2: 4x100 pounds
Set 3: 3x100 pounds
Set 4: 3x100 pounds
Set 5: 2x100 pounds
Remember, the goal of doing 5 sets of 5 reps is a hypothetical goal. As soon as you are able to complete 5 sets of 5 you should up the resistance for your next workout.
The programme is split as follows:
Monday - Quads/Hams/Calves
Tuesday - Rest
Wednesday - Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
Thursday - Rest
Friday - Back/Traps/Biceps
Saturday - Rest
Sunday - Rest
Monday (Quads/Hams/Calves)
1) Back Squat - 5x5
2) Stiff Legged Deadlift - 5x5
3) Dumbbell Lunges - 2x8
4) Calve Raise - 2x12 (optional)
Wednesday (Chest/Shoulders/Triceps)
1) Weighted Dips - 5x5
2) Incline Bench Press - 3x8
3) Upright Row - 2x8
4) Skull Crushers - 2x8 (optional)
Friday (Back/Traps/Biceps)
1) Deadlift - 5x5
2) Barbell Row (substitute with dumbbell or machine row if necessary) - 3x8
3) Close Grip Chins with Palms Facing (use pulldown machine if necessary) - 4x6
4) Olympic Barbell Curls (optional) - 2x8

Your Monday looks good. On Wednesday I wouldn't do upright rows. You may have no problem with them now but I think it is a bad movement for the shoulders in the long run. I would replace them with either standing overhead BB presses or one arm seated DB overhead presses.
For Friday you could replace the BB rows for power cleans and ditch the straight curls since you are already doing chin ups.
Look'n good

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of upright rows, but I don't think there is anything wrong with them if they don't bother your shoulders.
