I think the order of some of you’re exercises should be changed and I would also do more leg work, including calves, and probably at the least put shoulders by themselves because there is no way I could hit shoulders intensly after legs, and I’d probably either do a 3-way split or better yet hit everything on its own day but other then that yeah, do it up.
Yeah I’d have to agree with austin_bicep on that you have to train your calves mate. Unless of course they’re already 20 inch diamonds!
Legs and Shoulders can be a good day together because there isn’t going to be any cumulative fatigue from either muscle group, but training shoulders AFTER you’ve completed your leg training isn’t the best way to go about it. Try staggering your shoulder exercises in between your leg exercises and you can give both muscle groups a decent workout.
Also this way you can get a larger rest period in between some of your compound leg movements like: Squats then Military Press then SLD’s, and cable lat raises somewhere else in the WO.
Dude, take out Upright Rows! They are a good exercise but the amount of people that can do them safely is pretty small. So the benefit to risk ratio is just too high and there are other things out there you can do that bring the same results.
I don’t see any direct trap work either man, is there a reason for that?
You said 5x5 or 4x10 for rep ranges is that for EVERY exercise??

what would you suggest instead of upright rows?
I would alternate rep ranges every week so…workout one would be 4x10 one week 5x5 the next. workout 2 5x5 first week 4x10 second week…and so on with the others

Yeh I got that you would be rotating rep schemes but is that for every exercise throughout the workout!!!
Again trap work???
Well if you include a OH press, lat delt movement and trap movement into both your shoulder days that would be plenty.
