    all sets above are very hard, but not to failure. ie if i struggle very hard with last rep or my form goes down i dont do the next one...if i excess the upper limit of rep range during given set ill add weight for next set..

    from time to time ill add some rest pause or drop sets...


    3-4 times a week depending on recovery and my schedule...

    Looks good but I don't see a need for 2 types of chest bench, pick one each week.

    Same with rows for back, no need for db and bb rows.

      ok, got it.


      but what about military press. im a bit confused. it is better to do standing or seated? for strictly bodybuilding purposes. or it just doesnt matter?

        seated DB press for shoulders will develop the delts better then bar.

            I know a lot of people don't like a push/pull type setup, but I would put the shoulders with chest and tris and move the biceps to back day. With your routine, the shoulder gets overworked, as you've got substantial shoulder impact when you do bench, dips, etc. as well.

            I think the shoulder is a vulnerable joint with rather poor anatomical design, which is one of the reasons why a push/pull routine is appealing to me. You hit all your shoulder stuff on one day and then give it a break for several days. Your shoulders will thank you when you are older.

              Incline DB Press 4x6-10 switch to barbell
              Weighted Dips 4x6-10
              Cambered bar Skullcrushers 4x6-10

              THURSDAY:

              every set is INTENSE + some forced reps, rest pause reps, dropset in last sets.
