Critique My Routine?

Hi Coach Carter.
I borrowed many of your principles and followed much of what you do. I was thinking to run doggrapp but i am not still andvanced enough. I am still an intermediate lifter and I was planning ongoing something like this. All sets are to concentric failure

A1/A2
A. Bench press/Incline press 1x6-8; 1x15-20
B. Incline db press/flat db press 1x8-12+50%set
C. Dips/weighted pushup 350
Loaded chest stretch
D. Military press/Behind the neck press 1x6-8; 1x8-12
E. mountain dog side delts/rear delts swing 1x50-100
Loaded shoulder stretch
F. pjr pullover/pin press2x15-20
Loaded triceps stretch
G.Back squats/front squats 1x8-12; 1x20 reps breathing squat

B1/B2
A. Rack pulls/High handle trap bar 1x4-6; 1x8-12
B. Barbell row/Yates row: 1x6-8; 1x8-12
C. 350 pullups/chinups
D. Plate oh raise/trap bar shrugs:*1x100
Loaded back strerch
E. Barbell curl/Alternate db Curl: 2x15-20
F. Strict hammer Curl/Wrist Curl: 3x30
Loaded biceps stretch
G. Rdls/Leg Curl: 1x8-12; 1x15-20

Basically i train 3xweek rotating (quite like in doggcrapp) A1, B1, A2, B2

I did not put much leg work cause i noticed that they grow better (at least for me) from minimal work.
If i stall for 3 times on a given exercises i swap that for something else

Why donā€™t you follow one of the many programs Paul has on here?

if your doing A1 B1 A2 B2 have you thought about the 2 way dC split?

chest/shoulder/tri/back

legs/biceps

i like it cuz if you want to bring up hams, do a deadlift variant on your back thickness. and if you have a lagging tricep or shoulders you can lightly tag them on leg day instead of biceps.

I have not big experience in programming. Other than the 2 way split, you think is this setup reasonable? To me it seems it is

Way too many different movements if youā€™re not advanced.

Incline db press
Dips
Squats
RDL
Overhead Press
Chins/Pulldowns
Proper Lat Work (lat pulls or pulldowns)
Chest Supported Row

Split those up over 2 days.
