    I would reccomed droping volume and definatley total amount of exercises per body part

    You dont need to follow IFBB pro training routines that you read in the mags to grow

    Yoi simply need to progress over time, add more weight over time

    looking at your avatar, you have spent some time in the gym. but I agree ^^ that you are probably over doing it at your current level. you are free to disagree, of course, but since weight / strength training is something you do over a period of years, you might be better off reducing your program, concentrate on compounds, and gain confidence in successes. Your CNS will let you know if you are overdoing it if after awhile, you begin to feel lethargic. Also, you spend waaay too much time on minor muscle groups (tri's and bi's).

    How's your diet? I only ask since many here will agree it is an area often overlooked by those just starting out. (Not saying you are just starting out). If your diet is off, it's an easy fix that will give you some pretty good results in growth.

    So where should I make cuts in the routine? my diet is pretty good but I have lapses that set me back and I just start again its really annoying to just lapse due to lack of motivation.

    This is the 2nd thread Iv been told to pull my pants up lol

    A good start would be no more than 2 exercise per bodypart

    Remember train smart, volume is not the only way to make a muscle grow, how about intensity

    A low volume high intensity chest routine could look like this

    Benchpress warm up 3 sets, 1 set to failure, 1 all out set with drops, rest pauses etc...
    Incline benchpress, 1 set to failure, one all out set as above

    Thats 4 working sets for chest! You will be spent if u train with propper intensity!

    The key to this training is progression, week in week out

    You will grow, do not doubt it

    Yes, im talking high intensity training tho, you need a spot to do this type of training

    You will be failing 4 times in each set, followed by negatives etc...

    Its hard but its gr8 for me

    The first workout may seem kind of easy, just rmember u will be adding weigh Next week so it get harder

    IMO if u cant train ur chest in 10 sets ur doing somthing wronge, i like yates style training with a bit of DC, id say my style is a mix of the two

    If u want anymore info PM me or sumat
