Push/Pull routine , need advice
I want to change up my four day split to a 2 day split to see how it works.
A push/pull routine seems convinient for me. This is what I plan on doing:
My priority is my upper body, Legs are not that important, but I want to hit them too
PUSH:
Squats 3 sets
Bench press 3 Sets
Incline Bench press 3 sets
Chest Dips 3 sets
Military Press 3 sets
Lateral Raises 2 sets
Behind the Back Press 3 sets
Close grip bench press 2-3 sets
Tricep Pushdowns or skull crushers - 1-2 sets
PULL:
Deadlift 3 sets
Pull-ups 3 sets
barbell row 3 sets
Parallel grip lat pulldowns 3 sets
Close grip chin-ups 2-3 sets
dumbell curls 2-3 sets
shrugs 3 sets
calf raises 4 sets
ab work
Rest Time: 1- 1.5 minutes
Is this okay, or do I need to change something up

Just a suggestion. No need to do 9 compounds in one workout and burn out and risk injury.

This is what I did today:
Bench press 3 Sets
Incline Bench press 3 sets
Chest Dips 3 sets
Military Press 3 sets
Lateral Raises 3 sets
Front Raises 2 sets
Close grip bench press 3 sets
Tricep Pushdowns 2 sets
ab work
I think my routine needs some work, maybe drop the front raises and do a compound exercise. I wanted to do Behind the back presses however I've been informed that, that exercises can lead to injury, so I don't wanna take any chance with it.
Since this is push/pull routine
I'm wondering ff Front Raises and Lateral Raises should be done on the push day, since they're pulling exercises.
