looks good to me. . .the only thing i would mention on is possibly combining your bi day with back to get an extra day of rest, but if thats how you want to do it it looks good.
 
That's a lot of volume. You may want to reduce it to 3 sets per exercise instead of 5. Your CNS will be hurting after a while.
 
That's a lot of ab work and a lot of volume.

I think you could cut out a lot of crap that is redundant (choose SLDL over leg curls) Shrugs - Deadlift heavier. Calves - way more volume needed or squat deeper.

Not much squatting. Add some front squats.

Cleans? Push / Military Press? Chinups?

What are your goals?


Work on all four planes - Vertical push/pull, horizontal push/pull.

Hard to say. You're young enough to have a very fast recovery, but is this for mass or strength or both?

Ya thats the reason I figured I could do 5 sets for everything. Umm I'm doing it mainly for mass.. because high reps just define the muscle thats already there right? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Reason for lots of volume is I figure since I'm only 15 my body should recover really fast and be able to handle it. My goal is basicly put on more mass over the winter. Umm sorry for the stupidity but whats the difference between and front and normal squat? I asked my coaches and they don't know.. again sorry for the stupidity, this is something I should already know.

Not necessarily, but you have the right idea. My advice would be to use something similar to what I use. The breakdown is this:
Mon-Max Chest, Back, Biceps, abs
Tues-off
Wed-Legs
Thur-Dynamic Chest, Back, abs
Fri-off
Sat-Triceps, Delts

For max chest, rotate the exercise that you use (e.g. flat BP then Dips) and work up to a max set of 3-5 reps. After that do another exercise for 3 sets of 10-12 reps. Back is trained at 6 sets/session with reps at 8-12. Biceps are trained at a very low volume (1-3 sets at 6-10 reps) since they get a lot of work form heavy back work. Triceps and delts are worked in the 5-8 set range with one heavy exercise per group (e.g. close grip bench, military press) for a set of 3-5 reps and followed by another exercise in the 10-12 rep range.

Front squats will kick the sh!t out your abs more than 200 crunches.

I was doing 2 groups of muscles until wrestling season. Me and my coach worked something out so I get 45 minutes everyday at the beginning of practice to workout so I only have enough time for one bodypart.
