Default Questions on my routine

Howdy, This place is new to me, seems to be a good place for advice allready..

I just turned 15, and i havent been working out that long but.. This summer i will have more time on my hands to achieve the body i want. I wanted to kick my workout up a notch and/or switch it around. Im about 5'8 5'9 126 so im not big, in my bones or body fat. Heres my workout
day1 chest nd arms
bench-4sets,10reps
incline bench-3sets,10reps
flys-4sets,12-15reps
Preacher Curls-4sets,15reps
curls-2sets,10-20reps
hammer-2sets,10-20reps

day3 shoulders nd legs
side and front lats-4sets,14reps
shrugs-4sets,15reps
Calf raises-4sets.14reps
lounges-3ets,15reps
squats-3sets,20reps

day5 back and triceps
lat pull,reverse grip lat pull, behind the neck lat pull-4sets,14reps
rows-4sets,12reps
Tricep dips, tricep extensions, tricep pulldown -4sets,15reps

My questions are is this too much to be doing? What could be done to confuse the muscle? What could i do to make it more intense? What could i add?

Thanks in advance!

This is a bit late, but drop all that you have for now. Go to t-nation and read an article called Smart from the Start - its a good article to learn about what you need to know. Stick to compound lifts (bench, rows, squats, deadlifts, dips, chins/pullups) as the basis of your routine. Start off light until you get the form down solid. If you wanna grow, as a beginner, squat, squat, and squat some more. The best advice I can give you is to read about what you want to do. But, don't put off working out because you're constantly looking for something better. Pick a routine designed by a professional for now. HGM, Book of Muscle, New Rules of Lifting. Come to think of it, buy New Rules of Lifting. Read it. Go over to the NROL subforum here and ask questions. Eat. Lift. Get big.

At your age it would probably behoove you to read all any and all articles posted in here by Brian Grasso. That will be the best place to start I think.
