    Last time I checked, calves were part of legs))) Anyhow, I can't do anything after serious leg workout.

    my suggestion is to rest more... at that pace you only have 3 rest days in 2 weeks. you are on the fast track to overtrainig IMHO. I'm a firm believer in training only legs on leg day... why take blood from your legs to your shoulders. here is an example of a mass program that worked well for me in the past and matter of fact i still use it thru most of the year...
    Mon ~ squat/calves/abs
    Tues ~ off
    Wed ~ off
    Thur ~ bench/shoulders
    Fri ~ deadlift/back/abs
    Sat ~ close grip bench/arms
    Sun ~ off
    majority of work is done with the major 3 lifts squat/bench/deads... w/limited shoulder work and heavy abdominal work. if done correctly you will need all 3 days to recover. stay strong and lift big!!!

    looks good... i just like to take a couple of days off from squatting heavy so the shoulders are prepared for heavy benching... but good call regardless!

    Yes defo, it takes a lot out of you heavy hard leg training, I like to keep back away from legs for that reason initially.....
