Prioritization

Currently lifting 3 on 1 off. Doing hrt w/200mg test e weekly, getting close to adding eq and more test (which I say to address the issue of recovery). Please take a look at this and tell me if it's do-able. My goal is to emphasize my legs, arms, delts (in that order). So I'm thinking:

Quads, Hams, Calves, Biceps, Triceps, Forearms
example workout- (Squat, DL, SLDL, single-leg calf raise w/db, cheat curl, incline db curl, hammer or zottman curl, close elbow dips, standing tricep curl w/ez bar, rope pressdown, wrist curl)

Back, Delts, Traps, Abs
example- (wide grip pullup to back of neck, reg width chin up, barbell row, military press, side lateral, bent lateral, shrugs or substitute military press in beginning for clean and press)

Chest
example- (30 degree incline db press, flat bar press, cross bench pullover)

Rest (Abs)

Repeat

Right now I'm working out in my home, using a squat/power rack with a high cable pulley attachment, a dip station, an adjustable bench, and a scott curl bench. I have a good assortment of bars- hammer curl, pulldown, 2 straight bars, an ez curl bar, olympic dumbells, and a set of bowflex dial dumbells (they only go up to 52.5 lbs but lots of lifts can be done with that range).

Anyway, the way I look at it, it's heavy compound movements for mass building, and I should be able to do that using my basic equipment.. If there is a weekly schedual, even if it's 6 days a week, that would allow me to better prioritize legs, arms, and delts than this, please chime in..
 
really packing those exercises in on 2 days. i could never get squats and deads in the same workout and benefit from it. if you want to prioritize legs, split quads and hamstrings up and do them on seperate days. i would also put chest in between the 2 stacked days so its sort of a light day splitting the 2 bigger days. its alot in my opinion.
 
reps, volume, thoughts

Thinking about it a little more I see where you're right about the volume on leg day.. For reps, generally 6-9. If I had a spot on bench I like to do 5 rep sets, but alone been going db inclines and flat 4x6 at 501 tempo. Then dips 4x8 401 tempo. Squats I was just doing were 4x15-16 and now that's got me thinking about volume and how to split those exercises. Does anyone see a non-compound dispensable movement among them? If any are extraneous please don't hold back..lol..I know you won't.

I'd like to do a mon/tues thurs/fri routine or a sensible 6 day a week. What do you all think about shocking the body into growth by flooding it with a bulking diet (just went to the store this morning so I'm loaded for bear..at least 3 days worth), increasing the volume by groupsize (ala "arnolds training manual"), and just knocking the piss out of one major and one minor group every day so that six days are accounted for?

What are your thoughts?
