Strength routing...

[crpav]

I am looking to start a strength training routing this year. I have been lifting for over 14 years but feel I a change is needed and more strength is my goal.

I have read some and to start off I am thinking this as a rough draft for my routine:

Monday

cardio to warmup
Bench Press 3x5
Squat 3x5
Deadlift 3x5
Dips 3x5

Tuesday:

cardio
????

Wednesday:

cardio to warmup
Shoulder Press - military
Bent over rows
chin ups
lat pull downs

Thursday:

cardio
????

Friday:

cardio to warmup
Bench Press
Squat
Dead Lift

Everything is basd off the starting strength type routing I have read(riptoe?). I would like any suggestions and advice to make it better if needed as well as a help filling in the ????.

you are better off leaving the ???? as cardio only, and go all out to failure on the other days. There is no point in overdoing it, or spending much time working on the small muscles if strength is your goal
