Hi, i'm 16, 170 pounds, bench 165 and I have been doing some form of lifting since roughly 14 when I started football. After some training programs at my school with some very highly qualified people I put this workout together a few days ago to train in the off season.. just wondering what tweaks it could use. Pretty much opened to anything this workout doesn't have much of a rhyme or a rhythm. Thanks.

And there was me thinking i invented the 8x5x8x5x8 workout!
sounds fine to me but one tip
4 day workout, preferably space it out so your rest is the same throughout
right now your having monday workout-tuesday workout (18 hours rest max?)
thursday-friday workout (36-42 hours rest from last workout)
next week monday you will rack up a good 60+ hours rest.
Space it out so its like this
Monday-workout
wednesday-workout
friday-workout
sunday-workout
As to sundays, buy yourself a simple weight set-very cheap ones around, and focus doing arms and shoulders on sundays-as no major amounts of weight is needed.
Or you could condense into a 3 day workout and do just mon,wed, and friday.
The muscle groups your working etc looks fine, just try to set the rest days out so theyre more even.
Otherwise youll get areas where youre not getting enough and areas where you are getting too much and the body starts to lose that metabolic rate for building muscle as effectively.
Never rest more than 2 days when on a workout week personally-otherwise your next workout will feel horrible and you just wont be able to do as much.
