Please rate / tweak my routine

[Polst89]

Hey guys,
I've been on vikings bare bones full body routine for 3+ months now and I start to really struggle with the rep scheme.
I know myself and I know I need a """brand new""" routine to boost my morale up again, I love the higher volume the program put me on and I'd like to keep it and to continue progressive overloading on lower rep schemes (aka x5)

Oh and be advised, I don't plan on doing this routine for very very long...that's why I left abs out (I'll train them at home, of course ) and calves.
Oh 2 - I've picked the exercises but I didn't think about how to corectly put them in order, care to help please? And I am not sure about the sets/reps neither, I just know I want lower reps - higher weights.


So;

A)
LEGS : Squat 3x8 - Leg curls 3x8
PUSH: Bench 3x5 - Incline dumbbell bench 3(2?) x 8
PULL: Pendlay 3x5 - Close grip pulldown 3x8
SHOULDERS: Strict lateral raise(or reverse flies?) + shrugs superset (don't know how many sets or reps..help)

Ok, With A I wanted to focus the chest push and include some shoulders work that I don't find really taxing and that can be done even after benching and still gives me good pump


B)
LEGS: RDL 3X8 - Leg press 3x8
PUSH: OHP 3X5 - Chest dips 3xAMRAP (Or flyes or even chest press [OMG MACHINES!] - I want an exercise that won't suffer too much from OHP that will have the priority)
PULL: Pullups 3xAMRAP - Cable rows 3x8
ARM WORK (typical barbell curl + skullcrushers superset?)

So with B I) want to give priority to the OHP but still want to hit the chest with dips or flyes or even a chest press machine...keep in mind that I NEVER did dips, pullups (I know I can do 6), flyes or even used chest press...maybe doing some "new" exercises might be beneficial to me?

Hope you will put some effort into answering and thank you for your time!


PS: 3 workouts a week and adding 1kg to the bar (maybe more for legs) everytime the reps are completed.

Curious why you'd ask someone to put effort into answering your question if you admit you don't intend sticking to this routine for long?

Well, my mistake! I've been on fierce 5 for one year, that's "long" for me...I'd like to stick to this for 3 months or so...or maybe more if I don't stall...actually...

Just because you stall doesnt necessarly mean you have to switch programs. There are protocols for what to do when stalling.

Switching programs every few months is a sure fire way to ensure you make zero progress

Mhm well actually that program has no specific protocol for deloading...I saw a little improvement (1 rep more for example) by skipping a workout...but I was thinking/hoping that switching to a lower rep range with heavier weight would make progressive overload easier? Besides, I am changing program but keeping the basic lifts...do you think that's a bad program?
Plus, sticking to a program you grew bored of makes going to the gym more of a chore...

I was thinking
A:

Squat 3x8
Bench 3x5
Row 3x5
Leg curl 3x8
Incline dumbell bench 3x8
Close grip lat machine (OR Chinups??) 3x8
Lateral raises + Shrugs superset (3 sets?)

B)
RDL 3x8
Ohp 3x5
Pullups 3x AMRAP
Leg press 3x8
Chest dips (or chest press? Or flyes?) 3x AMRAP if dips
Cable row 3x8
ARMS

C)
Squat 3x8
Incline dumbell press 3x8 (or 6?)
Row 3x5
Leg curl 3x8
Bench press 3x8
Close grip lat machine (OR chinups??) 3x8
Lateral raises + Shrugs superset (3 sets?)


I wanted A to focus on the heavy chest press push and train shoulders with less demanding exercises
B to focus on the heavy OHP and have a chest exercise that won't suffer too much from OHP
C to focus on heavy dumbell presses (that's why 6 reps?) which I really like to do, and have some lighter bench press...

What do you think?
