  • My Routine Critique PLZ!!

    Thought I would post my newest routine that I have been using the last 3-4 weeks. I have done nothing but grow with it, so I thought I would see if any pointers or critiques you guys might have could help me even more.

    Day1: Chest/Biceps

    * Cable Crossovers: 1set warmup, 2 sets pre-exhaustion before real workout
    * Incline Bench: 1set warmup, 2 sets heavy 6-10 reps
    * Incline DB Bench: 2 sets super heavy 6-8 reps
    * Seated lower cable crossovers: These things murder my lower and outer chest!! I feel parts worked that have never been used before lol... 3 sets medium weight slow super controlled 8-12 reps
    * Half ROM Pec Deck: I have only been using half ROM at the end, to get that last press and squeeze in the end of my workout. 2 sets heavy 6-8
    * Standing EZ bar curls: 2 sets heavy with good form slow contracted with a squeeze
    * (Every other week I will replace Standing EZ bar curls with The one and only bigpetefox's blast sets using alternate db curls)
    * EZ bar curls on preacher curl bench: 2 sets heavy 6-10 reps with contraction and squeeze at top
    * DB Curls on preacher curl bench: super slow heavy with 1-2 squeeze at peak

    Day 2: Legs

    * Bicycle for 5-7 minutes, stretching, light no weight squats on bosu ball
    * Again every other week I alternate from bigpetefox's blast sets on squats, to normal squats
    * Blast Set Squats: (set one)225x10, 245x8, 255x8, 275x7 (set two)275x7, 255x8, 245x8, 225x10 (set three I normally can't get this set) 225x10, 235x8, 245x8, 265x7
    * Leg Press: 3 sets heavy slow 8-12 reps
    * Leg Curls: 3 sets heavy slow 8-10 reps
    * Leg Extensions: 3 sets heavy slow 6-10 reps
    * Calf machine: 5 sets super heavy super slow

    Day 3: Rest

    Day 4: Shoulders/Triceps/Abs

    * Shoulder DB Press: 1 set warmup; 2 sets heavy
    * Front DB Raises: 3 sets heavy slow
    * Lateral DB Raises: 2 sets heavy slow
    * Weighted Dips: 1 set warmup; 3 sets heavy as possible
    * Skull Crushers: 2 sets heavy elbows in and slow with hard squeeze
    * Incline Overhead Tricep Press: 3 sets heavy slow and careful
    * Ab Circuit

    Day 5: Back/Forearms

    * Widegrip Pullups: 3 sets failure on each set
    * Widegrip Pulldowns: 3 sets semi-heavy slow squeeze
    * Widegrip Seated Cable Row: 3 sets heavy no momentum
    * T-Bar Rows: 2 sets semi-heavy perfect form
    * DB Shrugs: 2 sets heavy holding contraction 1-2 seconds each rep
    * Barbell Wrist Curls: 2 sets till failure - slow
    * Reverse Barbell Wrist Curls: 2 sets till failure - slow

    Day 6: Rest

    Day 7: Calves/Forearms/Abs

    * Calf machine: 5 sets super heavy super slow
    * Barbell Wrist Curls: 2 sets till failure - slow
    * Reverse Barbell Wrist Curls: 2 sets till failure - slow
    * Ab Circuit

    Thats pretty much it in a nutshell... I'm bulking right now and have gotten to hooked to working out again that I'm even dreaming about it lol. Any suggestions, tips, critiques, or questions please ask or say.

    Just from my quick scanning of it, my quick comments would be:
    1. Too manys sets for chest-overtraining
    2. Replace standing EZ bar curl with barbell curl-hits the bicep differently than EZ bar, which you use right afterward anyway
    3. Too few sets that hit hams-add deadlifts (essential lift)
    4. Why do forearms 3x/wk - they get hit on bicep day, day5 and day 7?

          I would cut out some of your forearm work also, adding dead lifts is also good. I would add a rear delt excersize in your shoulder routine.
          I don't think your overdoing your chest, You only have 9 working sets, I don't think thats to much.
          Mostly if it's working go with it.
          Sounds like you have good mental focus.
