By movements I mean it makes sense to group exercises where you push together and exercises where you pull together.
IMO it doesnt make sense ... see below

I understand my tris are getting hit in all those exercises, but isnt that the point? If my tris and shoulders get used on bench should I not train all those muscles together?
Yes, but by your logic here is what will happen ...

Flat bench 4 sets ( 3 sets @ 85-90% of max)
Weighted Dips 4 sets (3 sets @ 85-90% of max)
-Now your tri's are officially spent, if they arent, you werent at 85-90% of max-
Military Press 4 sets (3 sets of shit, because your spent)
Close Grip Pres 3 sets (3 sets of shit, because your spent)

this makes about as much sense as working one body part per day to me ... it will work, provided your juicing. And dont forget that when your doing shitty light sets of military press, your shoulders are missing out on the workout they could have had.

I need a routine that will give me the best of both worlds. If such a routine exists.
Well it is possible, perhaps DoggCrapp training would work out well for you, but i really dont know.If I were you, I'd work on strength first, then hypertrophy later. push your strength up with DC or a 5x5, then do an HST cycle.
