Starting back up, today's work out (advice welcomed)

[jingle24]

I'm back to lifting recently and I just wanna see if there's anything I can add to what I'm currently doing to maximize efficiency.

Today:
Deadlift 3x5
Squat 2x5
Dips 3x10
Chins 3x10
DB bench 1x8, 1x10, 1xFailure
DB shrugs 2xfailure
BB curls 2xfailure
DB seated shoulder press 2x8

Would've done more deads/squats or possibly added rows but I'm nursing a recent lower back injury, any input/help is greatly appreciated!

It is solid man.

One thing I would change is to do the squats before the dead lifts, especially if you will be pushing yourself. Don't want to squat with a fatigued lumbar, since the weight is ON your body during the squat you can't just left go of it.

If you are going to be working out many times a week. Split some of the work up.

Look up Starting Strength or 5x5 and use that as your template. You can add/drop what you want but they are solid routines.

For me personally (everyone's different I suppose),

If I deadlift first I notice that all of my succeeding lifts are easier or I am more 'amped' persay to lift after I do those sets, I'm doing my squats on a smith machine currently because of A) My Back B) lack of competent 'spotters' at my gym.

After my back injury heals I could possibly try that but is that just a suggestion for while my back is weak, or should squats go first always regardless?

In my opinion the squat should always come first. You don't have to, but I like to squat when I'm fresh and 100%. I find that this reduces the risk of injury quite a bit.

Really it is up to you and how you feel most comfortable.

Honestly, I think it tis too much for one workout. Try to split them over 2 workouts and alternate between them.
