critique my workout
gonna try to pack on some mass so im trying to come up with some good exercises for my split. and im trying to stick to strictly compound movements.
i will do about 5 exercises for 4 sets per day. meaning i wont do all 3 benches and then the 4 tricep exercises. i would only do 5 total
day 1- chest/tris
flat bench - barbell
incline bench - barbell
decline bench - barbell
(sometimes use dumbells instead) - but i want to just stick to benching
close grip bench
overhead dumbell presses
dips
skull crushers
day 2- back/bi's
dead lifts
bent over rows
t bar rows
pull ups
barbell curls
hammer curls
wide grip preacher curls
day 3 is off
day 4 legs/abs
squat
leg press
calf machines
hamstring- hammer strength machine
weighted situps
weighted oblique bends
day 5 shoulders/traps
clean and jerk
military press(barbell or dumbell sometimes)
front barbell raises(like imagine holding a barbell for a shrug, but raising it to your chin)
barbell shurgs
dumbell shrugs
day 6/7 off
are there any big compound movements im missing or good ones i can add?
is doing only 5 of those exercises for 4 sets on each day enough?
and any other compound movemnt for biceps?
any exercise i should take off?
thanks to anyone who helpsLast edited by negative resistance; 04-19-2005 at 06:53 PM.

"front barbell raises(like imagine holding a barbell for a shrug, but raising it to your chin)" <----- these are called upright rows!
too much volume for tris especially after chest, stick to 2 mass exercises and maybe 1 pushdown. I would just stick to the straight bar curls and hammers(like swole says) if you cant get the job done in 6 sets your not working hard enough. 1 press for shoulders, uprights, side laterals and something for the rear head. For back i would throw in weighted chins instead of pulldowns if your trying to pack on mass, nothing blasts the lats like those.

if your training natural i would go 9-12 heavy sets a for a bigger body part, and 6 for smaller.

doing bi's and back the enxt day after chest/tries doens't seem to smart to me.
I know wehn I work chest/tries and shoudlers real hard I'm too sore and torn down to do bis/back and shrugs, too much muscle use of the sore group.
I lift upper body twice a week, Pull days, bis,back,shrugs, then 1/2 a week later do the pushes, chest,tries,shoulders.
Resting more for your upper body might help you work out harder.
