If your not pushing heavy weight and training to failure on Sat it shouldnt cause any issues. I do it and it has been working for me

My saturday workout is usually lots of sets of squats, doing...

what does your current routine look like?

train like an athlete + eat like a bodybuilder = get bigger and faster!

If I were in your exact situation I would focus on getting bigger and stronger for the next year, with a minimum of cardio (but likely do a bit)

Then after that year increase the cardio, and still...

Looks solid

I would just replace conventional deads or sumo deads with the rack pulls some time down the road. Conventional deads + Sumo deads + rack pulls all in the same week is a lot of pulling

I think the key points that have been mentioned:

1. Get your injury figured out, sounds like it could just be a mobility issue (I get almost exactly what you discribe when my hamstrings/calves and...

If you enjoy cardio, a couple days at a moderate intensity won't hurt anything. Just factor the activity into your calorie intake

There are 2 major things wrong with what you doing:

1. The following words have no place in a good routine "around", "sometimes", "like", and "maybe". These words all mean your routine isnt...

Why do people who train purely for aesthetics think strong legs are not important?

Do you never wear shorts in public, and only baggy pants?

Do you never plan on being naked in front of a...

The hardest part is consistancy, which it sounds like you got covered.

And don't worry progress will get more difficult as time goes by

I would do:

Mon: Squat 531 and lower assistance work
Tues: Bench 531 and Upper assistance
Thurs: DL + OH 531 and a couple assistance movements.

The way you have it your not going to be...

The only thing you should be doing differently is picking a proven routine and not making your own up. Also split routines are better for more advanced trainees

For this routine to cause overtraining in anyone they would have to be terribly out of shape, live a very stressfull life, and/or have terrible nutrition.

Lack of progress is more likely being...

If I only had two days to train I would put a bit more in each session:

Fri:

Squats heavy (5x5 or similier set/reps)
Bench heavy
Barbell Row Heavy
Romanian DL 3-4x8-12
Incline DB or DB...

Then the next week would be

Legs/push/rest/pull/legs/push/rest so on and so forth

Lower the weight to something you can do with proper form. Perfect Practice Makes Perfect

The main thing I would Change is ditching BB row and chin ups, and doing 5+ sets of pullups aiming to increase the total reps by 1-2 reps each session before DL. You don't need 4 rowing variations in...

Squating while sore is perfectly normal with this sort of routine, after a few weeks you likely will not get sore at all anymore.

I would be looking into upper lower programs if I were you. Remember if your going to increase the intensity (percentage of your 1 rep max) you need to cut the volume back, so body part splits arent...

You say wendlers templates arent enough for you but your setup is almost all isolation work.... hmmmm.

Pick one of the templates, run it for a couple cycles then add/change 1-2 things with it and...
