Upper... getting back into the grove, just getting off smolov., and just starting floor press, & good morning

---sumo deadlifts... 135x10, 225x10, 275x6repsx5sets.... just trying to get back in the grove of deadlifting. Should this be on my upper day or lower day? Since it really works my legs.
---floor press... 135x10, 225x5x5, .... when you go down, do you rest your elbows on the floor like in box squats with your legs? or do you touch and go? and should you be able to do more weight with this or with your bench press? and does this help your bench? like should i do this for a few weeks and get away from bench for a while? sound beneficial??
---bentover rows... 135x10, 200x5x5
---MILITARY PRESS... 140x5x5
---GOOD MORNINGS... 95x10, 115x10, 135x10
---abs 25lbsx20 repsx3sets I SUPERSETED THIS WITH CURLS
---curls 95x10x3

And is this a good lower routine? is conjunction with the upper.

Lower

front squat
lunges light
calf raises
glute hams or hypers?

i'd do monday: upper, tuesday: lower, thurs: upper, fri:lower

thank you in advance for any help!!! :rolleyes:
 
That seems okay. On the floor presses, you want to maintain tension. Like a box squat, you never truly relax. You are always keeping tight, so it will seem more like a touch and go. You should do floor presses until you feel that the area of that bench is no longer your weak point. That's what supplementary exercises are for: to bring up your weak points. So maybe after a week or two of floor presses, your next sticking point is lower than the floor allows you to go. Sounds like it's time to work in some board pressing.
 
I normally consider lower back to be worked with legs b/c you hit it more with Deads and squats than you would if you just did like back extensions and stuff.

You routine is good but where are the Back Squats at??? Back Squats are like the foundation for my lower body work out. Add Romanian Deads in there too and maybe One-Legged Press.

p.s.: Here is a hit, when you write a work out of IMO lift, dont think by amount of weight you need to do i.e "GOOD MORNINGS... 95x10, 115x10, 135x10".
No, just think " oop, its time for good mornings, ill start with 135." Then do it and go from there either up or down. Your body reacts differently every day.
