starting push/pull routine

[vjke]

Hey folks,
Have just finished push/pull/legs 5 times a week. I feel i had great gains but need something else. Maybe higher frequency workout
Going to start push/pull on Monday. I have got few questions about my workout routine
This is my workout plan:

Incline bench press
Chest dips
Seated shoulders press
Side raises? (should i do them or shoulder press is definitely enough?)
Close grip bench press
Squats
Leg press or legs extensions. alternate each workout (what do you think about this?)
Calves

Note: I wont do flat bench press because after it is really hard to do close grip bench press. So i prefer chest dips to bench press. Is this fine?

Pull-ups
Underhand bent-over rows
Shrugs(should i do biceps or shrugs first? i feel doing biceps after bent over rows would be better because of a better pump)
Biceps (your thoughts)
Leg curls
Abs

Reps are done 3x8 on heavy workout and 3x12 on light. I am going to do heavy/light and light/heavy. What do you say?
Is this enough? Should i change something?
Sorry for creating another thread about workout plans. I had already done SS so don't say do SS. I need something else.
If you feel my workout plan sounds ****ty give me something which has worked for someone. Thanks

This is good. but I think you should be deadlifting on your pull day. Get rid of leg curls completely. On the heavy day do conventional deadlifts. on the light day do romanian deadlifts.

Aren't leg curls important for knee health? As in, balanced muscle strength

No. Opposite. They aren't BAD, but GHR and proper good mornings work the hamstring/glutes in an even balanced fashion.

Leg curls do not.

Do you really think deadlifts will work fine after squats?
But how do i incorporate them into my workout. Should i do them after pull ups or before?

tank what are your lifts now, and your bodyweight?

edit: OP it depends on you really. If you are more comfortable deadlifting first b/c you will have the most energy and perform better, do them first. If you are more comfortable doing them last because they gas you and make you want to go home, do them last. And yeah you'll be fine.

Good pointing. Thanks for the tip. I will do deadlifts after back. Because my hand grip is not that strong and after deadlifts doing pull ups and bent overs would be not a good idea.
Edit: removed stats

Ehm, ****ty; however, progress has happened.

I'm near 180,
Squat: 375
Deadlift: 405 no belt (old was 425 w/belt)
Bench: 205x3, paused 195(still ****ty bench)
Press: 165x1(should of got 175, but loaded one side to heavy and messed me up, lulz)

Sorry when I was asking for the lifts I was talking to SonOfTowelhorn. He's a friend of mine. But yeah man, do deadlifts last if that's what works for you. I hope everything works out.

@SonOfTowelHorn. Squat and dead got stwang. Sucks about your knees. Did you lose weight?

@Op sorry for thread hijack breh

Lol, I only gained 10 lbs on my squat from September to now.

Yeah, I did. I stopped tracking food, and I lost weight. Once my meet is done, and I have time to recover I'm going back into full gear.
