Any advice on changing my workout

    Ive been doing Starting Strength since Feb and its been fairly good. put on about a stone, lifts are all going up (mostly anyway). Since my original goal was to get to 11 stone and ive just about got it, and im a bit tired of doing just the 3 lifts a day im trying to change things a bit. i wanna keep squatting 3xweek so that stays along with bench and press but im changing a few other things. this is what ive come up with.

    Workout 1
    Sqauat 3x5
    Bench 3x5
    Deadlift/RDL
    Dips 3x as many as pos
    Calf Raises 3x5
    Plank, Side plank

    Workout 2
    Front Squat 3x5
    Press 3x5
    Row/Clean 3x5
    Pullups 3x as many as pos
    Calf Raise 3x5
    Plank, Side Plank

    The frequency is the same as SS, so three times a week so the two workouts done 3 times each in 2 weeks.

    ill rotate the deads RDL and rows cleans every workout.

    i dont want to change too much just add in some other things. want some advice on whether its decent enough to do. should the rows be done with the deadlifts, is there much emphasis on one thing or whatever anyone thinks.

    goal is still to gain weight. im looking to 73kg and see how things are then.
    i like the whole body workout, im still seeing gains so im not looking to split things up yet. ive no body part i want to work on particularly, my skinny legs are getting less skinny and everything else is a bit chunkier (esp. the belly), just want to keep growing. but my back could be thicker so thats were the rows are coming in and the pullups.
    i dont want to **** up whats been a good workout so if any one has a better route to take after SS than let me know. otherwise let me know where this could be better.
    thanks for any advice in advance and for getting through what was not intended to be so long winded

    I wouldn't bother with the calf raises tbh. I personally find that trying to increase size in the calf muscles is quite hard. Might just be me though!:o

    I wouldn't set a goal for big calves by the summer, I'd go for summer 2012!! I find it very difficult to put size on my calves! It's probably genetics though!

    im just joking about the calves and the summer. but im still going to give them a going over. im not looking to get huge calves just bigger than a matchstick would do.

    anything other than the calf raises give anyone a cause for concern.
