    1. put the chin ups in on tuesday, it doesnt make sense being on chest day when back day is the next day
    2. take away the front squat on tuesday, it doesnt make sense to be their, 2 days recover time is probably not enough time for legs
    3. put in b.b. rows on back day
    4. Thursdays workout is just too close to mondays
    5. on thursday, keep your chest and back work together, instead of going every other set, it does not make sense
    6. with the chinups on monday, your back is beig worked 3 days in a row, with the chins on tuesday, your back is being worked 2 times in 3 days which is overkill
    7. i just saw that you do some type of deads on friday, your back is being torn to pieces by overtraining.
    8 you are neglecting you shoulders. pushpress is not isolating your shoulders enough, you need to find a day to work shoulders in. perhaps take away the back work on thursday, take out the pushpress on monday, and to mil presses on thursday after chest.
    9. you are neglecting your tris. they will get hit from presses, but you need to put in direct tri work. you were complaining about your arm size in one post.
    10. b.b curls on arm-i dont understand what that is. do normal b.b curls, that may or may not be enough.

    over all, in a positive criticism type way, your program is a mess and you need to rethink it.

    as far as the back work goes, it is not bad that you seperate row type work and deads. it is just that i think they are too close together.

    Once again, I was trying to go with a magazine workout, obviously those things blow, I will do what one post said, and look at some on here and put together the piecess and approach it with a new program.

    1. i would sub flies for crossovers
    2. i would put closegrips before skulls, and get rid of the other 2, they are just not needed, you will get overtrained, in no way should you do as many sets for your tris as you do for chest, i think 6 sets is pushing it, maybe 4 might be better,
    3. i would put b.b rows in with back since i am a big believer in them
    4. take out the push press, go with b.b mil or d.b mil, use push press as a shocker maybe every 3-4 weeks if you love them so much. the point is to work your shoulders on shoulder day, but they are good for the negatives, so i would rely on straight up mil.
    5. i would put bis after shoulders and take them out of the back workout
    6.also for shoulders, put your presses back to back and your raises back to back. dont get yourself more fatigued before the exercise that really matters.
    7. way to many sets for bis, stick b.b curls, incline d.b. curls, preachers, hammers, i would only do 3 exercises 1-2 sets each. i think only 4-5 sets should be done for bis.

    i am not in anyway claiming to be an expert because i am not, i just know what it takes to get big and strong and i have learned from many mistakes

    well, he's right about the number of sets...i typically do 12-16 for big bodyparts (chest, back, legs) and 6-9 for the smaller ones...but the second program is far superior...well done

    for monday, i would put incline d.b. presses after bench and take out the boards. 3 sets for flat, 3 sets for incl would look pretty **** good. you were the one complaining about having small arms. for tris, closegrips and skulls will get you their. for bis, i like how you lowered the sets. its up to you, but if you want big bis. i would do this
    b.b curl-the king of bis 2 sets
    incline d.b surl 1 set
    preachers 1 set
    hammers 1 set.
    the bi routine above and this tri routine
    cl. g 2 sets
    skulls 2 sets is what got my arms up to 18 inches. and i am sill pretty young with alot more growin to do

    lookin good

    also, cables=not as much mass

    i think u should add more for ur tri. its the muscle that makes ur arms the biggest. do weighted dips, close grip bench and maybe overhead extensions or pull downs..
