Standing Calves 2x20 RI=60secs

Upper A
Yates Rows 3x6 RI=120secs
Dips 3x8 RI=120secs
ChinUps 3x10 RI=60secs
EZ BB Curls 3x10 RI=60secs

It looks very balanced and good, the only thing I would do is put some different exercise selection in the lower workouts
Lower A
ATG Back Squats 3x6 RI=120secs
SLDL 3x8 RI=120secs
Leg Curls 3x10 RI=60secs drop this and put the Lunges here
Standing calves 2x15 RI=60Secs

Lower B
DL's 3x6 RI=120secs
Leg press 3x8 RI=120secs Drop This for Parallel Squats
Lunges 3x10 RI=60secs Drop this for DB one-legged RDLs
Standing Calves 2x20 RI=60secs drop this for reverse calves 2x15

how close to failure are you going to be training?

Looks good to me, looks almost exactly like what I'm doing now.

Seems reasonable to me.

mike - I train until i have a rep or two in the bank for the last set. Sometimes i might hit failure but i dont aim to get to that point.

FatCat -

CowPimp - Cool. Thanks. Sets/reps look kinda 'flat' and I'v been trying to fit in some periodisation into that. Cant seem to come up with anything satisfactory in balancing the movements unless i perodise it on a weekly basis (something like 6-10reps on one week and 8-12 on the next, perhaps?). Any suggestions?

Also I'll throw in some (2x12) shoulder/trap work on upper days?
