My new Program, advice please

Looks like a full body workout focusing on major muscles, so it would probably be better to switch the dead lifts with one of the other workouts to balance things out.

I would ask you however that is your motivation for doing shoulder press and dips?

If your goal is to maximally stimulate your shoulders and triceps, there are better options that target specifically these muscles. ie deltoid raises for shoulders and tricep pushdows for triceps.

dips i feel are heavy on the chest for me, they are kind of like a decline press in a way, and shoulder press i always beleived is the best shoulder move by far, i thought compound>isolation is widely accepted as true, especially in strengh training, but i could easily be wrong.

so your suggesting squats day 1 and deadlifts day 2? that could work, i thought doing them both the same day gives me more time to recover inbetween lower body workouts

Seemed to me like your set up was close to full body that is why I suggested the change to round it out.

Did you read the article on overhead press? Doug Brignole knows his stuff. It is considered a classic shoulder exercise so people don't question it, similar to upright rows.

But yea man based on your program I see you are doing basically all large compound movements, so if you want to do shoulder press go for it. But you should definitely read the article and analyze your risk.

IMO overhead press is a high risk, low reward exercise.

You can gain strength in many ways.

Thanks for the tip, this article is the first ive ever heard of not doing shoulder presses, he makes good points has a good argument for sure, but its just so hard to beleive that lateral raises are better for building shoulders than dumbell press,

it's like saying to cut out bench press and only do flys, but honestly im a newbie compared to most of u guys so i could be wrong
