    Am I doing enough?

    How does this routine look? I've been doing it for 2 weeks now. I used to do 4 sets but now I'm gonna cut it down to 3 and up the intensity.

    Four days a week (increase the weight each set and the last set go to failure, I usually fail at the desired number of reps for the last set)

    Day 1 Mon.

    Deadlifts 3x5
    Seated cable rows (v-bar) 10,8,6
    Close grip or Underhand lat pulldowns 10,8,6
    Wide grip lat pulldowns 10,8,6
    Seated hammer curls or reverse ez bar preacher curls 12,10,8
    Straight bar preacher curls 12,10,8

    Day 2 Tues.

    Flat dumbell press 10,8,6
    Incline dumbell press 10,8,6
    Incline or flat dumbell flys or Pec Deck Flys 12,10,8
    Dumbell internal rotation 14,12,10 (rotator cuff)
    Tricep pushdowns (overhand straight bar) 12,10,8
    4 way neck machine 3x10

    Weds. OFF

    Day 3 Thurs.

    Squats 10,8,6
    Leg extensions 12,10,8
    Leg curls 12,10,8
    Standing or seated calve raises 14,12,10
    Kneeling cable crunches 14,12,10
    Lever twist 14,12,10

    Day 4 Fri.

    Seated dumbell press 10,8,6
    Standing barbell or seated dumbell front raises 12,10,8,
    Wide grip upright rows 10,8,6 or Seated lateral raises 12,10,8
    Standing bent over reverse flys 12,10,8
    Seated dumbell upright external rotation 14,12,10 (rotator cuff)
    Barbell shrugs 3x10

    Sat. OFF

    Sun. OFF

    I'm 6' 235 (I'm a little chubby) 26 years old. All natural, I don't even use creatine.

    How's it look?

    I will refer you to one of your recent threads in which you posted the exact same routine, your critique is there, you just haven't bothered to listen, AT ALL You ask a lot of questions, and yet they don't seem to have helped you work out your routine.

    Still got your cable rows, still your bicep routine is heavily biased towards the long head and brachialis, still absolutely no tricep routine, your front raises, and of course there is the bent over raises (you call reverse flyes) on shoulder day instead of back day. If you want your posterior deltoids to grow, do you believe 3 sets of isolating raises will do the job? No, throw your raises in on back day because there you are ROWING, and ROWING is a heavy compound movement that will stimulate GROWTH.

    I'm not trying to be offensive this is just frustrating

    you took the words right out of my mouth..

    I don’t think he likes criticism.



    Maybe he’s looking for a pat on the back

    The problem IS your exercises, not your split. You have already asked all the questions over the past few months, do a search using the tool for your own posts and read them again.

    Time to do your own research man...

    I have a question for you now, what routine is far more effective for the triceps?

    Close grip bench
    Dips
    Skullcrushers

    or

    Rope pulldowns
    One arm overhead extensions
    Tricep pushdowns

    If you can tell me which one and why, then you know more than you are letting on
