    Critique my workout routine

    Hey guys, here's my routine... I talked to my strength and conditioning coach and he helped me critique it.

    Take note I use the structure of 12 reps at low weight, 10 reps at higher, 8 at higher, 6 at higher, and then 14 at lower then the 10 reps but higher than the 12. Also take note I do 4 sets of 12 decline situps every day except my off day so I don't include abs.

    Also, I only use one day a week for leg exercises because I do squats and deadlifts every bicep/back day and I'm on my feet for most of the day.

    Monday Biceps/back
    Preacher curls
    Incline dumbell curls
    Bent over barbell rows
    Seated rows
    Squats
    Deadlifts

    Tuesday Triceps/chest
    Bench press
    Dumbell flies
    Incline chest press
    Dumbell Kickbacks
    Cable pulldowns
    Dips

    Wednesday Biceps/back/legs
    Preacher curls
    Incline dumbell curls
    Bent over barbell rows
    Seated rows
    Squats
    Deadlifts
    Leg press
    Standing calf raises

    Thursday Triceps/Chest/Shoulders
    Bench press
    Dumbell flies
    Incline chest press
    Cable pulldowns
    Front raises
    Lateral raises
    Seated rear raises

    Friday Biceps/back
    Preacher curls
    Incline dumbell curls
    Bent over barbell rows
    Seated rows
    Squats
    Deadlifts

    Saturday Triceps/Chest/Shoulders
    Bench press
    Dumbell flies
    Incline chest press
    Cable pulldowns
    Front raises
    Lateral raises
    Seated rear raises

    Looks to me you are way over training. I dont believe there is a need for all that. Cut down the vloume and the amount of days you are doing.

    I like to have 3 exercises for each musclegroup

    I would consider only doing shoulders once a week instead of twice a week but I can't cut anything more

    Maybe I can leave out the kickbacks but then I'd only have 2 exercises targeting triceps...

    Is this for a sport? Is your coach making the rules/laying out the plan?

    Well yeah I play baseball but there isn't a required workout routine

    I do talk to the strength coach though.

    I don't go all out with heavy weights, which makes kind of crosses out the fact that i do so many exercises.

    If thats you in the pic u looks to have a decent build. But if you want to bulk it up. I would cut down on days and give your body time to rest. Hitting a body part 3 times a week is way to much imo and most others also. If think if you cut it down to once or twice at the most you wouldsee much better gains.
