I've come to realize that i was likely overtraining more then anything with my last routine, so i'm gonna try this one, keep in mind this is for my bulking program. Feel free to let me know of changes i should make
Monday - Chest
Flat Bench Press - Warm-ups 2 sets, 15 reps
1st working set 8 reps
2nd set 6-8 reps, 10lbs added
3rd set 6 reps, 10lbs added; will max out here as my
intensity is way up there for this set
4th set 6-8 reps, 10lbs decreased
5th set 8 reps. 10lbs decreased
Flat DB Press - 3 sets, 6-8, increasing weight each time

I prefer a maximum of 3-4 sets. The reason is simple. I find that the more sets one does, they pace themselves. I think 3-4 hard working sets are very effecient. With that being said, I would incorporate three compound exercises, then finish with 2-3 sets of an assistance exercise. I wouldn't do flat bar and flat dumbbells in the same workout, I prefer more variation for a better stimulus. Decline Bench, Seated Chest Press, Dips, etc. Add stiffs on leg day. Add lateral raises to shoulder day. I prefer traps with shoulders, because after a back workout, I am spent. Move bar bent rows to your second lift. Then finish off with the machines. Best of Luck~

^^^ I agree with the shoulder assesment. Military press works the front delts, so I would ditch the front raises for lateral raises or bent-over lateral raises.

ya i hit calves on leg day just never put it in, as for the traps ya i agree i think it would be better to hit them on shoulder day, most my past routines i have worked traps on shoulder day so i think i'll do that, i agree with dropping the front raises for lateral raises as well .. thanks alot
