Short answer: yes. Long answer…
Why no pull ups?
what is the shoulder circuit? what are you doing for abs and cardio?[/quote]
I do pull ups casually throughout the day generally so I didn’t think to add them to the workout. Maybe try to get 30 reps in after each workout?
The shoulder circuit is doing front raises, lateral raises, and rear delt raises. I would do each one 3x10. Abs I’m thinking on tuesday doing hanging leg raises, thursday doing weighted sit ups, saturday doing planks? Cardio I was thinking maybe 5 sprints or running 2 miles.

I agree mostly, though I feel that duration is a significant factor.
Also, I do not think you will put on overall upper body mass optimally with just push ups as a horizontal movement unless you are really heavy to begin with. Find a way to mount your barbell to do floor presses with minimal risk of death(hee hee).
Your best course of action would be to join a gym an do a balanced program like 531 if you want to maximize results. There is the added benefit of watching and interacting with accomplished lifters. Do not underestimate the importance of this.
Thanks for all the input everyone! So after thinking about what everyone said and clearly defining my goals this is what I’ll be doing for the next 6 months. I’m currently 166 and I will clean bulk until 185 and then I will cut.
tuesday
-back squat 3x5
-overhead press 3x5
-pendlay row 5x5
-weighted sit ups 3x10
-15 min cardio
thursday
-front squat 3x5
-floor press 3x10
-deadlift 3x5
-chin ups 5xF
-hanging leg raises 3x10-15
-15 min cardio
saturday
-back squat 3x8
-bent over row 4x8
-shoulder circuit 3x10 (front, lateral, rear raises)
-planks

Looks good enough. Really focus on the first three exercises each workout, then do the rest with PERFECT FORM. There’s no need to strive for a bigger 10RM on weighted sit ups.

I absolutely second this. Even doing pull ups almost every training day can mess up your elbows especially if you also squat with a close grip and pull your elbows forward. It takes very little time for this to happen and it really sucks when it does.
