Do you do the same exercises, set and rep counts, same order each time? If so, that's the first thing I'd change.

Bodybuilding.com has a lot of programs to choose from. Might be a good place to start.

Not knowing your goals, strengths/weaknesses, or how your body responds to training I'm hesitant to offer up anything specific

My rep and sets usually fluxuate and I will add in additional exercises when im on cycle. Which I am now. Also dependent upon my pump and how gassed the muscle is I will change reps and possibly add in an additional set. I will play with my grips also.

I am just looking for lean mass which comes with the diet anyhow, but I do not like a "bulky" look, more built and defined, which is why I keep my reps up a little higher. Im not a 4-6 rep, stupid heavy weights guy lol.

I use to do cookie cutter Chest+Triceps and another day Back+Biceps. A few years into training I switched to Chest+Biceps and Back+Triceps and my body loved it. Might be worth giving a try. I don't see dumbbell shoulder press, another consideration.

Try doing 1 muscle per day. I combine bis and tris, but separate hams from quads. I do calves 2-3 times per week.
This seems to work best for me.

Chest and Biceps on the same day... which is everyday. I like this routine ��

Yes, I like it. (Bench 225lbs x 10 reps + 10 wide grip pull ups) x 10 sets. I can rip those out in about 20 mins to 25 mins. But I want to work out for 90 minutes so I have lots of time to do "fun" workout routines.

**ScotchGuard02** · 06-26-2018, 09:47 PM

May I suggest this workout? It's old school and don't do many scientific fancy lifts but you can see the results I've achieved with it.

Day 1 - Chest & Bicep

Exercise 1 - Flat Bench (no rest between sets is to change weights)
305lbs x 10 reps
285lbs x 10 reps
265lbs x 10 reps
245lbs x 10 reps
225lbs x 10 reps
205lbs x 10 reps
185lbs x 10 reps
165lbs x 10 reps
145lbs x 10 reps
135lbs x 10 reps

Rest 5 minutes

Exercise 2 - Inclined Dumbbell Bench Press
100lbs dumbbells x 50 reps
AMRAP per set - as many sets as needed to finish 50 reps

Rest 5 minutes

Exercise 3 - Pec Deck
150lbs x 50 reps
AMRAP per set - as many sets as needed to finish 50 reps

Exercise 4 - Bicep Complex1
Inclined Dumbbell Curls - 30lbs dumbbells x 50 reps
60lbs Straight Bar Barbell Sliders + Barbell Curls (1 Slider + 1 Curl = 1 rep)
AMRAP per set Dumbbell curls and move directly to the Sliders/Barbell Curls until 50 reps of each

Have fun

Exercise 5 - Straight Bar Barbell Sliders + Barbell Curls (1 Slider + 1 Curl = 1 rep)

AMRAP per set - as many sets as needed to finish 50 reps

Done
