    Hay matt,, this looks ok to me as a mass routine, good basic midrange compound movements, could do with some weighted pull-ups on back day along with some bent over rows and deadlifts, over all looks good, but remember this is merely words on paper, or screen in this case,, what you put in to your training will determine the outcome, (if this is a good routine or not) train like a girl and you will get them results train like a animal and you will be one,,

    Personally, I think you should spread it out more. 4 straight days of heavy lifting is rough, you need some healing time in there.

    Yes,, recuperation is as important as the routine itself if u have to train 4-5 days in a row make sure you don’t over lap muscle groups example, keep bis, away from back, tris, and shoulders away from chest, or if u have a problem doing that, do shoulders with chest,, in my opinion the shoulders get a lot of stimulation during chest so doing them on a additional day would be over training the shoulders…

    personally I wouldnt train upper body 2 days in a row... Id go chest/tris to legs then rest then to back/bis then shoulders/other. then rest dayand repeat

    personally I wouldnt do more that 12 sets of heavy and would up the reps being all to failure.

    my routine is what ever isn't sore that day, gets blasted...

    I instinctively train... maybe not the best, but for me RIGHT now thats what I have to do.

    good luck man.
