As it stands right now, Im basically in a slimming down phase. But I keep my workouts pretty intense. Problem is, im bored with it. I want something new.
Ill give you guys my line up and you pretty much break it apart and help me build it back up.

I usually run my week like this.

Sunday: Chest...

Ill start it off with a very mild stretch/warmup set of about 135 on the flat bench. Ill do 2 sets of 10-12. Ill bump it up to about 185 for 1 set. Than jump up to 225 for 1 set. Than 245 for my last set. so it looks like this

2 sets Warmup
1 set of 8 - 185lbs
1 set of 6 - 225lbs
1 set of 4 245lbs

Ill move over to Incline -
2 sets of 6-8 185
1 set of 4 205

Then Ill do dips and decline flys for lower pecs.
For dips I just do to failure. 3x sets
For decline flys ill do 3 sets starting at 35lbs and ending at 50lbs

Last thing I do is machine pec flys.
3 sets of 8 at 150

Abs - I dont work out abs per se.

I feel as though i get a pretty decent ab workout from Squats and Deadlifts.

But that is basically My routine... It blows... i know... but i would like you guys to tear it apart and critique the shit out of it and help me out.
