    critique my routine please...

    So i decided to post it for critique. i do fasted cardio 5x a week... Mon-Fri.
    I am doing an IF using Leangains as a back drop to my diet, i do all these fasted and have seen no issues with energy levels. For that matter i have increased in energy daily.
    Just wanted some fresh eyes on it, see if there are any holes

    Workout Routine
    I do each exercise starting at a relatively Low-Mod weight adding 5-20lbs depending on the muscle till 5rm is reached, capping lower weights off at 15reps. 10-15 sec break between each set and 120 sec between exercises
    Monday- Chest

    Deadlift, Stiffleg
    Chin Ups3 sets to failure one weight

    Lat Pull Down- Wide Grip
    One-Arm Rows
    Pull ups- 3 sets to failure one weight

    Wednesday- Biceps/Triceps
    Curl, Standing- EZ Bar
    Preacher Curl, Seated- EZ Bar
    Hammer Curls, Weird Bar that allows to add free weights for this not sure what its called

    Various exercises depending on mood always done 15r with 3 sets and with weights be it kettle medicine or other
    HIIT- 20 min boxing, 20 min treadmill 90 run 60 rest

    All these except Saturday are done in the AM during my fasted state with only 10g bcaa and Saturday is done after my first meal

    The only thing I would recommend is switching Tuesday and Friday around. There might be a better split than what I'm suggesting but instead of writing it up. You have Legs then HIIT training, that might prove difficult and counter productive since you are still recovering. Also you have Back (Tues) Bi / Tris (Wed) Same reasoning here for the switch. Give your biceps time to rest so you can hit them even harder when you train them! Some may find other programs to work better but I'm a firm supporter in giving your body plenty of time to rest, even if it's not the primary mover in the exercise. This is especially true if it doesn't mess up your split (As I have suggested).

    If you decide to stick with your's... give it a shot, and then switch it up and try what I've suggested. It may provide just enough of a change to help you get that hypertrophy we're all chasing!

    Good luck!!
