If that training routine works for you that's awesome.. You need to be concerned with recovery time. Are you giving your body enough time to recover before your next workout..

I appears that your performing push / pull movements.. How do you feel from monday( chest ) to wednesday ( shoulders ).. Are you recovered.. Chest is a compound movement.. And how about Wednesday to Friday with you do your ARMS.

my arms recover!my shoulders may be a little tired but i can still put out a good workout.as far as recovery is concerned..i feel sore the next day almost always but for example a sore chest is not a problem for a back workout.i eat LOTS of carbs and protein and take a fully charged multivitamin-mineral

Lay out like an exact day of what you eat and take worth supps.

Only then can we see if you in fact eat enough.

An answer can go either way with this question.

I see two concerns/comments, both of which are on an individual basis.

First, you give your CNS very little time to recover. If you are in fact doing heavy, compound movements (squats, deadlifts, presses, etc.) then you're sending some strong signals through your CNS several days in a row, which can result in CNS drain and eventually over training.

That said, are you making gains?
How long have you been training for?
Are you a hard gainer?

You are still young, and your recovery abilities are stronger now than they ever will be in your life. If you are making gains, both in size and strength, then stick with what you are doing.

Just keep a close eye on your progress and how you feel. Realize naturally, you are not going to be able to sustain intense workouts 5 days in a row for ever.

If you start feeling drained, tired, slightly depressed or bummed, lack of ambition and motivation, lack of hunger, constant soreness across many different joints, trouble sleeping, etc. then you know its time to back off. In which case you may need to go mon-wed, thur off, fri sat, sun off. Or, you may need to split everything over the course of 4 days, taking 3 day off per week.
