Default Please Critique Routine!!

Been sick the past couple of days, doing nothing but sitting at home, so I've been doing alot of brainstorming on 2-day-a-week routines, and came up with something of my own that I plan to start as soon as I'm feeling better. I wanna touch this up as much as I can before I use it, so please post anything I need to add, leave out, or improve on. This is for gaining mass.

Each workout doesn't necessarily correspond with a specific day of the week, because my work schedule varies. However, they will be done with 2-3 days of rest in between.

STATS:
18 yrs, 5'10", 157 lbs. I've been weightlifting seriously for about 10 months.

DAY 1:
Squat 2 x 15-20
Deadlift 2 x 8-12
Calves 2 x 15
Military Press 2 x 8-12
Upright Rows 2 x 12,8 OR Sitting Shrugs 2 x 12
[I'm having confusion here as to how much I should do shoulders. And also, my traps need work: should I isolate them?]

DAY 2:
Bench 3 x 8-12
Dips 1 x 8-12 (For tricep exhaustion)
Pull-ups 3 x 6-12
Rows 2 x 8-12
Bar or Dumbell Curls 1 x 8-12 (For bicep exhaustion)

Abs will be done before or after each routine, 2 sets of crunches, 15 reps each.

Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

What are your goals? I might have some suggestions about that layout, but first lets hear where you are trying to go.

yup. you def need to state your goals. because that workout for just plain old staying in shape may be ok, but depending on what you are trying to do, it may need some changes

Why only 2 days a week?


Why so much volume?

I got a fast metabolism. My basal metabolic rate is like 1807. I was thinking maybe I could do 3 days...I came up with a 3-day workout too:

DAY 1: Chest/Tri/Shoulders
Bench 4 x 8-12 (May also use various types of presses)
Military Press 2 x 10
Dips or Skullcrushers 2 x 10
Side Lateral Raises 2 x 10

DAY 2: Legs & Power Movements
Squat 2 x 15-20
DL 2 x 8,6
Calves 2 x 15
Shrugs 2 x 12
Abs 2 x 15

DAY 3: Back & Bi's
Row 3 x 8-12
Pullups 3 x (to exhaust)
Curls 2 x 8-12
Abs 2 x 15

This is all just brainstorming, though. I should probably try the 2-day first(?)...tell me what you think.
