    IMO .. there isn't really anything to tear apart.

    It looks like a decent routine, and if it's working for you then I'd keep it. The only thing I see is that you could throw in just a few extra working sets on Legs day.

    If I throw in some extra sets what muscle should I work more? Quads, hams? And what lift do you think would be the best addition? Something like front squats, hack squats, hip sled maybe?

    You could add another 3-4 sets. Maybe think about rotating in some Leg presses, Hack squats, or Leg Extensions.

    Damn it I knew it looked a bit short. I did forget Extensions in there. Thanks Trimunex . Aside from that, i'm glad i'm not missing anything major. Anyone else got 2 cents? I think i hit all muscles pretty balanced but I just wanted to know what the more experienced thought. I have a good 4 years experience but another view is always helpful.
