I am wanting to start a 5x5 training routine and after reading of threads i am sure it is what i need to do. I want your input in how i should set up my routine, how often i should train, whether or not i should split, and what exercises to include the ones i have been looking are recommended for mass gain which is my goal and they are

back - pull ups
back - deadlifts (increases free flowing testosterone by 15%)
biceps - barbell curls (cheating)
biceps - chin ups (weighted if needed)
calves - donkey calf raises
chest - barbell bench (increases free flowing testosterone by 8%)
chest - dips (body forward, legs back)
hamstrings - straight legged deadlifts (ask Kai Greene) - forces your hamstrings to act as the main stabilizer muscles.
legs - squats (raises free flowing testosterone by 20%)
legs - the sled (a.k.a. leg press)
shoulders - military press
shoulders - upright rows
triceps - dips (weighted if needed, body upright, legs as straight as possible)
triceps - close grip bench
overall - overhead squat (best growth hormone booster)
overall - clean and press

I really need help with the organisation of what i need to do as i have a terrible habbit of overtraining because i am simply addicted, and just like eating pringles once i start i just cant stop.(I have home gym this is the only place i can really get advice from so spare no detail)

regards to Chubs for recommending threads and to suncloud for his thread on mass gaining in a nut shell
