where are the warmup sets? and if you are chubby i recommend doing cardio a few times a week.

[Tommy Gunn]

I am doing cardio. Boxing training 5 days a week.

And the sets I listed are my working sets.

I will refer you to one of your recent threads in which you posted the exact same routine, your critique is there, you just haven't bothered to listen, AT ALL You ask a lot of questions, and yet they don't seem to have helped you work out your routine.

Still got your cable rows, still your bicep routine is heavily biased towards the long head and brachialis, still absolutely no tricep routine, your front raises, and of course there is the bent over raises (you call reverse flyes) on shoulder day instead of back day. If you want your posterior deltoids to grow, do you believe 3 sets of isolating raises will do the job? No, throw your raises in on back day because there you are ROWING, and ROWING is a heavy compound movement that will stimulate GROWTH.

I'm not trying to be offensive this is just frustrating

you took the words right out of my mouth..

I don’t think he likes criticism.



Maybe he’s looking for a pat on the back

OK, so what would be a good routine for me that includes all the exercises I listed?

The problem IS your exercises, not your split. You have already asked all the questions over the past few months, do a search using the tool for your own posts and read them again.

Time to do your own research man...

I have a question for you now, what routine is far more effective for the triceps?

Close grip bench
Dips
Skullcrushers

or

Rope pulldowns
One arm overhead extensions
Tricep pushdowns

If you can tell me which one and why, then you know more than you are letting on
