are both stiff leg dead lifts and bent leg for your back? what do the two different methods hit?
and by pullups i dont mean chins... is that what you think? barbell pull ups.

and do you recomend dropping th db press and crossovers and doing more flat press and im thinking wieghted dips?

thanks mate

[Pinnacle]

are both stiff leg dead lifts and bent leg for your back? what do the two different methods hit?Yes,they both work your back.But stiff legged deads will stretch out your hams as well.And regular deads will work your quads through the first part of the movement
and by pullups i dont mean chins... is that what you think? barbell pull ups.You mean upright rows for the delts?

and do you recomend dropping th db press and crossovers and doing more flat press and im thinking wieghted dips?You already did flat bench and a fly exercise.By doing these 2 exercises would be over kill,and totally unnecesary.I like your idea of weighted dips.They are one of my favorite pec exercises.

thanks mate

[Dontgvadamn]

I agree with Pinnacle.
I like his idea of doing close grip bench, i use it in my routine after the rest of my chest stuff to hit it a little more, and also gives me a nice start into my tri's.

Another thing is on the biceps id drop the concentration curls and do hammer curls. Ive seen it time and time in here hammer curls are great for mass.

and definetly drop the pull ups on your back day. Personally on my shoulder days I do Military press, Upright rows, shrugs, rear delt raises.

What kinda rep range are you hitting.?

Looks much better.But I don't feel you need the upright rows in your delt routine.You have enough already.

ur bulking right?

I don't see the need for 3 different type of curling movements, flyes and lat flyes.

When bulking, idealy concentrate on the compund lifts and push the poundage...u have them all there, but u've also got a whole bunch of moves which are more for polishing up...if ur really pushing the poundage on the compounds, u wont have the energy or desire to do all those extra exercises

I don't see the need for 3 different type of curling movements, flyes and lat flyes.

so do you suggest cutting them out and leaving the set's of the compound exersizes alone? or increase set's? is 5 or 6 sets plenty for a muscle group? ive heard it said here that you need more?
do you recomend then fro example on chest day just doing flat bench x3 and wieghted dips x3? thats it?

I usually do around 7-8 sets for chest. I don't isolate my chest at all because weight and intensity is the answer for mass. The chest is a small muscle in terms of volume, nowhere near as big as the lats or traps (considering the traps covers the whole back). Huge numbers of sets aren't necessary for the chest, legs and back more so, but not the chest. 7-10 sets is best for chest IMO, just hit the intensity. Then 10-14 for back and legs IMO. Tris and Bis 6.

Some people do as many sets for chest as they do for back, and that is just ridiculous considering how much more meat there is on the back.
