    My focus is on developing my delts and upper chest more, as well as quads. I made the mistake of neglecting these areas early on in my lifting career. Though I can say that overall I have developed pretty nicely from this routine.

    Im looking to switch things up now and go with something like...

    -chest, front delts, side delts, triceps
    -back, rear delts, traps, biceps (back thickness dominant)
    - quads, hams, calves (quad dominant)
    - rest
    -chest, front delts, side delts, triceps
    -back, rear delts, traps, biceps (width and lat dominant)
    - quads, hams, calves (hamstring dominant)

    Is anyone doing a similar split? Feel free to post your routine or give any input.

    Too long to be doing the same program. You can keep the same split (but don't have to) and switch up the exercises. Keep the body guessing. Experiment with different tempo's / rep ranges. No need to always do 4x12 - maybe try 3x5 and go heavy or 4 sets of burnout. Good way to find the style that helps you best too.

    I had the same probleme. No shoulders or upper chest. Best thing u can do is side laterals for feeders every nigth 100 reps and military press sligthly moving back 40 reps 3-4 times a week.
    It works like hell.
    My shoulders are my greatest area now. Thanks to feeders and side laterals. Upper chest also coming.
