bump for advice on it*

These will apply to you if your bulking...

At a glance.......

1 drop the dec flies, if you really want to do them use free weights flat bench.

2 change close grip pulldown for pull-ups.

3 change close grip low row for wide straight bar rows.

4 drop the front raises.

5 reverse fly, your doing these for the anterior head yes, if so put them on back day.

6 shoulder press I would recommend 2-3 sets, and possibly drop the Upright rows.

7 What no squats???

8 if mass is you goal drop tri cable press downs for a multiple joint midrange movement
like close grip.

awesome, well thanks man


bump for more info?


um.. and I do have squats (hack squats just allow for more weight I find)

everything else I'll try to do!


thanks!!!

I tinkered with sets and exercises but left the split alone. If I was doing your split and your range of exercises I would find this more beneficial

If you can stick with the conventional squat, as there is no substitute.
