I think you must include arms and your work out is lacking.

To follow Up with your feedback

Lacking what? Arms or something else?

On the arms point

I'm trying not to over isolate muscles, more full body power movements...

For Tris: Bench hits them & then Dips or Tricep push downs finishes them off

For Bis: Pull ups and Pull downs hits them & then Cable curls finishes them off

Note: the final push downs and curls are to total failure...

Thoughts? Thanks

i would move deadlifts to second on your pull day to hit the back better...

triceps, and deltoids need to be looked at more.. bench only hits triceps alittle, true strong triceps are needed for bench, but bench doesn't make strong triceps. i would do dips, and push downs.... and for delts do laterals ...


not everything is push or pull... also don't forget hamstrings they are one of the most important parts of core strength
