Rewriting my training program any input?

scotty, looks good, I would only add one thing, upright rows on traps/delts day, it ties it all in, and I think you'd like what it would do for your overall look, just my opinion. From the looks of your workout that day you should be able to just add it to everything else and not be overtraining, it hits everything different than what you are already doing. I do look forward to you posting some pics and making a good start before the contest. Just so you know, I posted today's pics on my thread "old guy making a comeback", I'd appreciate some honest critique!

On a serious note, I'm glad you are on these boards and appreciate and respect your contributions, you are a person I am thankful for having in my life, Happy Thanksgiving!

I agree with this 100% - say what you will but I put upright rows right up there with squats, deads, bent over rows, and bench. If you go as high as your chin, hold for a second and return to the bottom of the movement slowly, you'll notice better trap growth than what shrugs alone yield while also crushing your rear delts and getting some arm action in there too.

absolutely how I perform my upright rows, with a little twist, I don't go below my belly button on the bottom of the range of motion, it keeps constant tension on the traps and produces twice the results, and make sure you are keeping the weight in as close to your body as possible.
