Critique my entire training please!!! No games!

[MjDub724]

Heres my 5 day split ive been running. Let me start off by saying THIS....let me say this quick EDIT....i now do around 20 sets for bigger muscle groups and 12 for bis and 12 for tris and 15 for everything else...

~~Its alot of volume, but it has made me grow and ive been training this way for a while strength has been increasing, until now.

~~I never feel like some thing are enough EXAMPLE!-Doing rear delt flyes, doing only 1 exercise for my rear delts, feels useless and not good enough. So I usually do DB Flyes (rear delt flyes) and then I do machine rear delt flyes...Just to hit them good. Anywayyyy

~~I was confronted in the gym by an old head (no disrespect he knows his stuff) and in a nutshell said only do 12 working sets per muscle group. I told him i do 4 sets on my shoulder flyes and he got a laugh out of it. ( I didnt think it was funny) He kind of wrote me off, with a shake of his head acting like I do way to much.

~I usually do 4 sets on everything, on the main compound movements anywhere from 4-10..On the isolation I do 6-8...FOR THE MOST PART...I usually just try to train heavy to get muscle to grow. But sometimes when i go to heavy I can perform the movement, and get the 3,4, or 5 reps but i dont feel it in the muscle as much. ANYWAYYY...


~~~OTHER QUESTIONS....my leg day has alot of deadlifting, one for lower back and hamis, and the other just a normal deadlift....IM SURE all of yal can take a look and help me point out some MAJOR issues with this...I really appreciate the help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mind if I ask why you double up on some things? Eg - Machine fly / DB Fly - is that on the same day you do both of those or do you alternate between the two?

Also deadlifts might wanna put with your back - I was told (and hopefully a vet can support this) that you should separate squats and DLs due to the intensity of the lifts.

[MjDub724]

Yea i have heard that, but i have a kid who studies exercise and he does them both he knows his stuff. But i do 2 types of dumbell flyes (for rear delts) because the one exercise just doesnt feel like its enough...

[AD]

how long do you rest between each set of the same exercise? if you're doing the exercises right, and yet dont feel the burn, maybe you can try shortening the rest period. 45sec or even 30sec of rest between each set of the same exercise, so you go again before you fully recover from the previous set, and continue to build up the fatigue and lactic acid with each subsequent set. maybe that can give you a good 'feel' or burn.

you can also try to slow down each rep, and really concentrate on the target muscle contraction. 1-2 sec up and 1-2 sec down?

[mirin_serratus]

stop doing so many redundant isolation stuff, if you have the energy to do all those in the same workout then you're not doing enough sets on compounds

[MjDub724]

I try to do atleast 2 compound exercises for each trainin day
And
I forcus on that the most.

If something stops working try something different. You have to experiment to find what your body responds to. For me its super sets. I like those.

[MjDub724]

Yea trial and error...
