My basic question is whether I need direct shoulder/Trap/Calf work.

I'm a fairly new lifter (less than 6 months) and I'm working on my first "bulk." Currently, I'm doing Military Press, Shrugs and calf raises once a week just as a way to get them a little work.

I'm really wanting to change a few things so I can bench twice a week, Squat twice a week and do negative pullups (in trying to get so I can do regular pullups) 3 times a week. Currently, I'm only doing these once a week in a 3 day full body plan.

Anyway...will my shoulders, traps and calves get enough secondary work in the following plan? All of these are done as alternating sets with 1 min rest between sets. 3x10
I also would like to keep it at 6 exercises or less because 1. 6 compound movements leave me pretty worn out...2...I workout over noon hour.

Monday:

Bench Press
Bent Over Row
Squats
Negative Chins
Dips
SL Deadlift


Wed.

Dumbell Incline Bench Press
Single-Arm Row
Close grip bench press
Dead Lifts
Negative Chins
Lunges

Friday....Same as Monday.




My current plan if you care...which I have been doing for 5 weeks. 3x10 alternating sets.

Monday:

Bench
Single Arm Row
Squat
EZ Bar Curls
SL Deadlift
Bent Over Later Raises

Wednesday:

Dumbell Incline Bench
Bent Over Row
Deadlift
Calf Raises
Lunges
Close Grip Bench

Friday:

Dips
Negative Chins
Military Press
Romanian Deadlift
Shrugs
Bulgarian Split Squats


Thanks for the help.
