Thoughts on full-body workout?

[kmfisher]

Here's what I mocked up:
(Alternating sets)
A1. Weighted Dips 3x5
A2. Bent-Over Rows 3x5
B1. Flat Bench 3x5
B2. Weighted Chinups 3x5

(Swapping each workout)
C1. Full Squats 3x5
C2. Shoulder Press 3x5
C1. Deadlifts 3x5
C2. Crunches 3x10

The goal is full-body, every-other day with a focus on strength. My legs have far out-paced upper body, so I've lessened them some (hence the alternating workouts for legs). I'm debating on upping weights or upping reps to progress. I'm also debating on if I should rotate set/rep schemes somewhat, and maybe do 3x5, 5x3, etc. I counted Dips as vertical press since thats what CW does in most articles.

Any suggestions or thoughts on it?

Just a quick comment:

Squats & Deadlifts in same workout may be counter-productive since they are both so demanding on so many muscle groups. You may want to split those up and do maybe two full-body workouts or split it up into four workouts - 2 upper + 2 lower.

Sorry I wasn't more clear. They are split up. So, workout 1 has Squats/Shoulder Press and workout 2 has Deadlift/Crunches. The upper body is all the same.

you're getting an awefull lot of volume on your upper body with the same paramaters...and 5 upper body excersises every other day seems a little over the top.

If you are doing 5 exercises each session than you should consider doing more than 3 sets of 5. Maybe 5x5 and take out one upper body movement per session.

What kind of loads are you planning on?

[kmfisher]

Yeah, I realize now the upper body is too much. Well, too much due to my loads (80%-85% depending on exercise).

I think that I may try to lower the loads for the dips, and bench. The other thing is I am not doing the shoulder presses or crunches, and rather putting in lateral DB raises instead. My shoulders are already pretty tired at that point already from the bench and dips.

So, it looks like this:
A1) Dips 3x5 @ 70%
A2) BO Rows 3x5 @ 80%
B1) Bench 3x5 @ 70%
B2) Chinups 3x5 @ 80%
C1) Squats or Deads 3x5 @ 80%
C2) Lateral DB Raise 3x5 @ 70%

I may change C2 to DB Cuban Presses or External Rotation work. Should I stick w/ 3x5 or up the reps or sets? Thanks.
