    How does this chest/front,side delt/tri workout look?

    I'm just returning after a long layoff (I had shoulder surgery Oct 2008). I've been back in the gym for about 3 months. Can you guys please critique my back/bi workout? I will be doing all exercises 3x8-10 with the same weight every set. When I hit 10 reps on all 3 sets I will increase the weight the next workout week.

    1. Flat dumbbell bench press
    2. Incline dumbbell bench press
    3. Seated overhead dumbbell press or seated front dumbbell raises
    4. Seated dumbbell lateral raises
    5. Tricep pushdowns

    A couple questions:

    1. How does this chest/front,side delt/tri workout look? Too much? Not enough? Exercise selection? Order of exercises? Sets and reps?

    2. Right now I'm either doing seated overhead dumbbell press or seated front dumbbell raises for my third exercise. If I were to drop the seated front dumbbell raises and just do the seated overhead dumbbell press, with this workout will I be working my front delts sufficiently or is it absoloutely necessary I add the seated front dumbbell raises for isolated front delt work? Will my front delts be getting worked enough from the flat, incline, and overhead pressing?

    3. With all the pushing I'm doing, is it even necessary to do the tricep pushdowns or will my tris be getting worked enough from the flat, incline, and overhead pressing I'm doing?

    4. I know incline dumbbell bench press works the upper pecs and flat dumbbell bench press works the lower pecs but does incline dumbbell bench press work the lower pecs at all? And does flat dumbbell bench press work the upper pecs at all?

    Thanks guys.

    dude this is almost exactly the back/bi thread you had before. almost exact same questions too!

    i havent looked but im assuming your leg workout thread will look pretty similar as well.

    take every answer from back/bi thread and apply it to chest/tri.

    do some research bro. use the search button and read. there are plenty of answers for your relatively basic questions. and amillion sampple workouts. try some and see what works

    no one is gonna spoon feed ya. you gotta do the work.
