Looking for critisism on this routine....

I posted a routine the other week but was told it wouldn't be enough to make any significant gains. So I came up with this routine which I would train each muscle twice a week, with one heavy workout and one light workout. I think it was BerealJohn who said he used to train like this.

Monday/Thursday - legs, back, biceps

Tuesday/Friday - chest, shoulders, triceps

MONDAY - (heavy) legs, back, biceps

Deadlift 3 x 5
Squat 3 x 5
WG chins 3 x max
One arm dumbell row 3 x 5
Barbell curls 3 x 5

TUESDAY - (light) chest, shoulders, triceps

Flat dumbell press 3 x 15
Flat flyes 3 x 15
Standing dumbell press 3 x 15
Side laterals 3 x 15
Skull crushers 3 x 15

THURSDAY - (light) legs, back, biceps

Stiff-leg deadlift 3 x 15
Squat 3 x 15
CG chins 3 x max
Bent over row 3 x 15
Hammer curls 3 x 15

FRIDAY - (heavy) chest, shoulders, triceps

Flat bench press 3 x 5
Incline press 3 x 5
Military press 3 x 5
Side laterals 3 x 5
CG bench press 3 x 5

What do you think? could this routine work or does it suck balls?
What would you change?
Should I do the same exercises for both heavy and light workouts or should I do different exercises like I've put in this routine? For example - on light chest day I would do standing dumbell press, but on heavy chest day I would do seated military press (seated because the weight is heavier). Should I do different exercises like this or keep them the same for both heavy and light workouts?

thanks

give it a shot and see what happens. thats basically the west side de/me thingy.

What do you consider your "light" days? Will you still be going to (near) failure or backing off? Concentrating on speed and explosiveness or maintaining your usual rep cadence?

that is kinda similar to a WSB.
i'd say it's a pretty good idea.
aboot: "light" implies that since the main compound lift is done for 15 reps vs 5 reps on "heavy" day, the weight used is much lower. it's just that simple

forgot to mention, i doubt you'd be able to work speed at sets of 15 reps... IMO your form would start to fall away after 5-8 reps. if this was for speed, i'd prefer to run a WSB style 9x2 for squats and 9x3 for flat bench at ~50% of 1RM... (that is what i follow anyway, even though at the moment i'm not doing WSB).

Its not just that simple. Will he be going to failure or not, that is the key, not necessarily how many reps he is doing. Going to failure twice a week on high rep and low rep work is still going to failure, and will be very hard on some. I don't consider my light days, going to failure, or going all out.
