Please Critique Routine!!!

Been sick the past couple of days, doing nothing but sitting at home, so I've been doing alot of brainstorming on 2-day-a-week routines, and came up with something of my own that I plan to start as soon as I'm feeling better. I wanna touch this up as much as I can before I use it, so please post anything I need to add, leave out, or improve on. This is for gaining mass. Each workout doesn't necessarily correspond with a specific day of the week, because my work schedule varies. However, they will be done with 2-3 days of rest in between. STATS: 18 yrs, 5'10", 157 lbs. I've been weightlifting seriously for about 10 months. DAY 1: Squat 2 x 15-20 Deadlift 2 x 8-12 Calves 2 x 15 Military Press 2 x 8-12 Upright Rows 2 x 12,8 OR Sitting Shrugs 2 x 12 [I'm having confusion here as to how much I should do shoulders. And also, my traps need work: should I isolate them?] DAY 2: Bench 3 x 8-12 Dips 1 x 8-12 (For tricep exhaustion) Pull-ups 3 x 6-12 Rows 2 x 8-12 Bar or Dumbell Curls 1 x 8-12 (For bicep exhaustion) Abs will be done before or after each routine, 2 sets of crunches, 15 reps each. Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Looks good to me. If I were you though I would turn that into a 3 day split, just for the fac there's so many movements in each day.

ORIGINAL: Baboon Looks good to me. If I were you though I would turn that into a 3 day split, just for the fac there's so many movements in each day. Yeah, I had trouble squeezing all that into 2 days with only 10 sets in each day. I did also come up with this: It's a three-day cycle, but I'll still be training about 2 times a week (sometimes three), so it will take a little over a week to complete each cycle. DAY 1: Chest/Tri/Shoulders Bench 4 x 15,12,8,20 (May also use various types of presses) Military Press 2 x 10 Dips or Skullcrushers 2 x 10 Side Lateral Raises 2 x 12,10 DAY 2: Legs & Power Movements Squat 2 x 15-20 DL 2 x 12,8 Calves 2 x 15 Shrugs 2 x 12 Abs 2 x 15 DAY 3: Back & Bi's Row 3 x 12,10,8 Pullups 3 x 12,8,6 Curls 2 x 8-12 Abs 2 x 15 Is this any better? I also came up with a different 2-day routine with slightly more sets per workout (14-15), but it more muscle groups. Like I said, I've been BORED! DAY 1 Bench 2-3 x 8-12 Incline 2 x 8-12 Military Press 2 x 8-12 Side Lat Raises 2 x 8-12 Skulls or Dips 2 x 10 Abs 3 x 15,15,10 DAY 2 Squat 2 x 15-20 DL 2 x 8,6 Pull-ups 3 (to failure) Row 3 x 8-12 Curls 2-3 x 8-12 Sitting Shrugs 2 x 12

Goals by end of 2009: Bench 205 Squat 255 ATG Squat Clean 185 "There is no elevator to success, you must take the stairs."

Looks ok but if your looking to bulk up then you need to drop your reps to 6-8 and do 3-4 set now if your looking to lean out then that will work but I dident see and arm or forarm workouts in your routine.
To get big you gata lift big!
