It's mostly hamstring and lower back, most people I know do them on Leg day... But in your case since I just read that you don't do deadlifts, doing good mornings on Back day would be fine.

No problem... I'd start with 3 sets of 5-8 for Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Presses, Rows, Pullups, Military, etc Presses and 3 sets of 6-10 for isolations (Curls, Shurgs, Flys, etc).

It looks pretty solid man, but a couple things.

-Move Good Mornings to Leg Day
-Add at least 4 sets of Pullups to Back/Shoulder day
-Add Lateral Raises to Back/Shoulder day

No Squats? You could ditch Leg Extensions and Leg Curls if you did Squats. It looks like a solid routine though, similar to one I did in the past.

Well I didn't list specific days because I didn't know what your schedule was like. I'll write out an example program for you so I make some more sense.

Day 1 (Monday)- Flat Bench, Barbell Row,...

Nah I disagree, if someone is feeling pain on their back from the bar, it's either because they need to just get used to it or they are doing something wrong. I sometimes squat without a shirt on and...

Over training is not a process that just happens over night from too much volume the day before, doing that routine for a week is not going to hurt you...

All right, if you want to take that approach, I'd recommend a routine something like this.

Day 1- Upper
Day 2- Lower
Day 4- Upper
Day 5- Lower

This way, on Day 1 you can do Flat Bench and on...

The problem with 5 day splits is that if you're a beginner and relatively weak still, your muscles won't need a whole week to recover. It's best to run SS until you stall completely or get impressive...

The general consensus here is to ditch the pad, you'll get used to it after you run the program for a bit.

Many people don't use bench press for chest at all, I don't. I perfer dumbbells entirely, but I used barbells during my SS and 5x5 days. Is it bad to bench twice a week? Well it depends on your...

Not if you consume enough protein/structured diet and lift weights properly.

I did Rippetoe's when I was 16, it works wonders especially at this age group, milk it for all it's worth, trust me.

You forgot your shoulder day :O . On a split like this, I like to have 4 exercises for chest and back, 3 sets each. For Bi's and Tri's, 2 exercises for 3 sets each. But you can play around with it...

Amen to that, great progress by the way. Muscles don't have brains, so therefor they can not become "confused" and forced into growth by switching routines.

What are your goals? 1000 pound bench, 500 pound standing press and 200's on laterals? This thread made me laugh though :)

I'd cut some more if I were you, you have some beast muscle there definitely

Looks like you made some solid progress, keep working hard man

I think of it this way, the more time I take off from lifting, the more time it will take to reach my goals. So personally I'm a very consistent lifter, or like Farley said, dedicated.
