First, welcome! Don't worry, you won't get the body of a bodybuilder on every 5th day weights even with "supplements". Second, why only every 5 days? Is that all the time you have? Third, why no cardio? Fourth, why the calf raises? What about lats and biceps?

My suggestions: add pullups, delete the calf raises, add running or cycling for cardio (which will work the calves plenty), read the stickies.

The first 3 exercises are all good compounds and the crunches, along with some variability, provide good core workouts.

I'm assuming you have a Y chromosome - but you didn't specify. If you don't have a Y chromosome, I would probably drop the pullups.

Why every 5 days? Because I thought I need this time for regeneration.

No cardio because I don´t have the time and because I don´t like either running or swimming.The only thing that I might do is rope skipping.

My program is just for the first months.Later (after 4 or 5 months;now I´m training in my second month) I´ll change the plan and split it into two sessions per week adding other exercises.

Do you think it´s better to do without the calf raises and add bent over rows?

Just to answer your last question:Yes,I´m male.
