Goals are just steady lean mass.

Monday - upper body

Barbell bench - 5x5

BB row - 5x5

Weighted dips 5x5

Weighted close grip pull ups - goal is 5 x5

Shoulder press - 5x5

Tuesday - legs

Squats - 5x5

Front squats - 3x6-8

Leg press - 3x10

Calf raises - 3x20 (somewhat of a DC training style) followed by a 45 second rest then 1 set of 10 reps heavier without an extended negative.

Wednesday - off

Thursday - back/chest

T bar row - 4x8-12

Lat pull down - 3x8-10

V bar seated row - 3x10

BB incline - 4x8-12

DB flat 3x8-10

Flys - 2x20 with 30 second rest then another 2x20 reverse pyramid

Friday off

Saturday - Arms

Bb curl - 4x7-10

Preacher curl - 3x12

Skull crusher - 4x7-10

Rope extension - 3x12

I always like to add drop sets on my final workout of the muscle and additional things like that. I don't really train shoulders because my shoulders are over developed.

For legs I recommend doing longer sets, and maybe another training day also. You now have 3 upper body days and only one lower.

Honestly i like it bro. Not a big fan of 5X5 but the layout and your rest days fit nicely.

I would work in some rear delts somewhere, probly back day and maybe add in some more calf work on your arm day.

I think its a good split. You could always add in some high(er) rep squats on your arm day if you wanted more volume for legs. Since its spaced far enough from your Tuesday leg training, I think it'd be a nice addition. Just a thought!
