I would say that Romanian deads, is the type of movement I would choose, if adding deads to a legs day. Deads from the ground would surely put a bit too much stress on lower back, after back squatting. Obviously, this may be individual…I met a guy at gym who is making gains just fine using back squats, then dead lifts as his NEXT exercise. I would certainly not do that.
Another option is doing front squats of legs day to reduce the stress on the lower back and adding any deadlift may not be at issue…Experiment yourself until you find what works.

I’m perfectly capable of doing a calf workout after I hit my thighs.[/quote]
i used to be able to do them too. but but who wants to spend that much time in a single session? i dont, i need to eat. you can drop the patronizing shit too, theres tons of people who do an abs+calves day.
because at least for me, when i do dips i feel it mouch more in my triceps than chest. now dips do involve the chest but about the same way a bench press involves the triceps. basically its going to get used but it isnt the method for targeting them. if you want to bring up your chest do dips on your tricep day that way youll still be targeting your main musle for that day but youll also be doing a little chest work too.
as far as feeling it there, are you talking about feeling it in the muscle as DOMS the next day or are you feeling it in the sternum? youre always gonna get some sternum tension from dips but i dont think ive ever gotten doms there. but then again if this is your first bodypart split youre probaly a begginer and it may be plausible. but then again you may not know the difference between sternum tension and DOMS.

Dips with a wide grip and while leaning forward do more for my chest than tris… If I lean slightly backwards, then it’s more tris than chest, same for shoulder/armpit-width grip.
I think the workout is pretty solid. But I’d lose the chinups. That days seems to be all about the “back” and chinups hit the biceps a litle more(while still hitting the back). Since you have a “arm” day on sat, while not leave bicep work to that day?

It depends on how you do the chins, but they are a back movement.
