    man thats way too much stuff

    stick to the cores for the 4 main groups

    add in maybe 2-3 exersizes on top of it and call it a day

    Ex

    Chest/Tris
    1 HEAVY low rep barbell Bench
    2 exersizes of Dumbell press, flies..whatever
    1 triceps exersize

    Back/Bis
    1 ex or Tbar, Barbell rows, Weighted chins..HEAVY low reps
    2 ex of some other back movement dumbell rows, reg chins..whatever
    1 ex biceps

    Shoulders
    1 ex Powercleans, Barbell presses
    2 ex dumbell presses, delt flies
    1 ex front lat work

    LEggs/lower back
    1 ex deadlift, goodmorning, or squat
    2 ex zerchers, front squat, stif legg DL, pull throughts, legg press, etc
    1 ex calve

    Simple and easy. Go heavy though and intense, especially the first exersize. This is essential to growth. Stay away from the Flex and Muscle n Fitness mags

    Billy-I hear you talk about this work out routine all the time. Why do you feel this way and do you do it all year round?

    No...actually I am working more on PL'ing at the moment (WSBC)

    But when in a BB mode so to speak, yes I pretty much do follow it always.

    I never do the same exersizes each week, and never the same weights, so its always different. I can even change up the days around, but as far as the split on each day, its always the same as I have found they all just fit together perfectly (for me at least)

    I get sick of people (in the gyms I visit) pumping out reps and reps of flys and curls but dont do shit for the cores. Then they dont ever grow and are stuck sub 200lb and cant understand why. CAll me a found believe in them I guess....lol

    That..and overtraining...man I bet 1/2 the peeps there are. Another 1/4 are just dumbasses running there mouths..lol.

    Go hard and balls to the wall and it will be plenty. I have made my best gains off a "less is better" when it comes to numbers of reps and exersizes.

    JMO....

    I agree.. less is better.

    Back - deadlifts, bentover rows, weighted chins

    Chest - flat bench, incline dumbells, weighted dips

    bi's - barbell curls, incline dumbell curls

    tris - close grip benches, decline skull crushers

    Quads - Squats, leg extensions

    Hams - Stiff legged deadlifts

    Calves - standing calve raises

    Shoulders - Military barbell presses or dumbell presses and lateral raises or wide grip upright rows. Rear delts get hit a ton on back day so theres no need for more work.

    Traps - they get hit on back day hard from the other lifts.

    I love seeing skinny guys in the gym training for 4 hours on machines and cables and wondering why they won't grow while im in an out within an hour.
