    1. Dead lifts 135x12 185x6 205x 4
    2. Bentover row Machine 70x12 90x8 110x8
    3. Front lat machine 90x6 70x10 80x8 (new machine so tested it out)

    6. Behind the neck 100x12 115x10

    So this is my first 3 days of routine. Hows it look? Overtraining? Any suggestions? Ill post next 2 days when they come. Im logging everything while at the gym now. Keeping track so i know my gains and weakness. Just took pics also if you need.

    IMO back and chest are overtrained... too many sets. Your legs are lookin good.

    I mean I could sit hear and split hairs to make your routine look more mainstream but this if obvious something that you are comfortable with or you wouldn't be doing it. That being said you are overtraining back and chest; you have more working sets on those days than a high volume workout.

    Less is more, reduce the sets and focus more on making each set count through form and proper weight selection.

    ok i actually thought that....how would you break that down then???

    I know i need to focus on incline. So break down a chest routine of 10-12 sets? if you guys dont mind. And a back too maybe?

    I just feel like im not getting a total workout once a week at only 10-12 sets. Maybe should i start training two body parts a day?

    Im still learning so, im not questioning you guys just curious on how you would break it down. And warm up sets dont count right?

    No man, there was an assh..e before who posted pics of men having sex and I was writing to him.
    Then, fortunately the pics were removed but also the post itself and that caused the misunderstanding.

    Sorry for that, I am going to edit.
