yea switch chest and back, because if you workout your chest today and do your shoulders tomorrow youll be doing no good. Since you blasted your tris from working the chest, you know?

[Orion141]

What excercises do you think that I should drop from my routine? Also, are there any that I should add? Thanks

i posted which ones u should drop, also traps can be done on shoulder day if need be...

[kdawg21]

I am a huge fan of Blood Volume training... how much weight are you using..... is it based on percentages or??????

[znak]

IMO this is way too much. I could not keep my intensity above 80% and get through this. However, if the goal of this work out is general conditioning, it is a very good work out. At 50-60% intensity, if you do this workout in an hour you will get very good all round body tone.

What is your goal? To lose weight/tone up or to get thicker?
