    I see nothing wrong with doing leg press into that routine. IMO Leg press finishes off the legs nicely, sometimes you have some left in your legs, but nothing left in your back thats a good place for the leg press to take over. As far as calves in the middle, well I have seen it done many times and theres nothing wrong with that either. It gives your legs a little oppurtunity to rest to give them a better chance to lift heavier weight throughout the rest of your workout. All and all it doesnt look to bad.

    push and pull day are good, but leg day you have 3 quad-dominant and 2 ham dominant, I say drop both leg curls and extensions and add a compound hip dominant such as hypers, glute-hamraises, RDL, SLDL, etc.

    Yeah I agree with Mike here. I might drop the leg press and go with SLDL. Those are the best for building hams, my own opinion.

    I would keep the Leg Press over the extensions, like this:
    ATG Squats 3x5-8
    Deadlifts 3x5-8
    Leg Press 3x5-8
    SLDL 3x8-10
    Calve Raises 3x10-15

    I think it looks pretty good. My routine is very similar to that right now although I vary the weight and number of sets over a 3-week period of time. I also do a few shrugs on pull day and some tricep presses on push day.
