    Lifting Routine Critique

    I plan to lift 4 days a week and do jogging 5 days a week

    Let me know what you think of this weight routine
    Not really interested in bulking up my legs but would like to put on some muscle on my upper body and tone up/lose fat

    Chest day: 4 sets flat bench, 3 sets incline, 3 sets flies, 3 sets sit ups

    Back day/biceps day: 3 Sets seated rows (close grip), 3 sets seated rows (wide grip), 4 sets bicep curls, 3 sets sit ups

    Shoulders/triceps day: 4 sets overhead shoulder press, 4 sets triceps cable pressing, 4 sets upright rows, 3 sets sit ups

    Legs/Back day: 3 sets leg press, 4 sets hip abduction, 3 sets wide grip lateral pull downs, 3 sets close grip lateral pull downs, 3 sets sit ups

    Concentrating more on doing sets of 8-10 reps as opposed to maxing out to prevent injury. Eating around 150g of protein per day (3 shakes - morning, PWO, bedtime)

    What are tricep cable presses? I'd recommend close-grip benching, skullcrushers or JM presses for triceps. I would also drop one or both of the seated rows for deadlifts and t-bar rows. Drop abs to 2-3 times a week. Leg day I would add a hamstring exercise (still legged deadlifts, or even leg curls). I don't know what hip abduction is, but I'd concentrate on quads and hams for leg day.

    I'd say the split is pretty good though. Simple.
