Thanks Burner!!!

Ok guys, I need some help here...

I want to go with a certain idea here, I want to go with 3 main movements with an auxilliary movement, so only 4 exercises per workout, however here is my dilemma,

I want to do certain movements in this routine,
Ex:

workout 1
Horizontal Push-Upperbody
Horizontal Pull-Upperbody
Squats
Aux(Delts)

workout 2
Vertical Push-Upperbody
Vertical Pull-Upperbody
Leg Press
Aux(Biceps)

workout 3
repeat workout 1
Aux(Triceps)

Is this a sound concept???
Should I mix them up instead of keeping them the same,
ex:
Horizontal Push-Upperbody
Vertical Pull-Upperbody
Legs
Aux

Am I making sense???

Thinking of something like this:

Workout 1 (Horizontal Upperbody Movements)
Incline Press (BB)
Seated Rows
Squats
Delts

Workout 2 (Vertical Upperbody Movements)
Dips
Rack Deads
Leg Press
Biceps

Workout 3 (combine Horizontal and Vertical)
Incline Press (DB)
Pullups
Squats
Triceps

rinse and repeat....

Does this routine make sense???

Heya archi lookin good buddy! I dig the workouts!

As for some help...Ive always been a fan of opposing mvoements if I have to. My workouts are a 2 month cycle and I vary my planes and movements A because I feel it works better for me b/c I can put maximu effort into all my workouts and I'm not fatigued from secondary work and B my shoulder can't handle to much work on one plane. I could never do dips then pulldowns then high rows then deadlifts. Mys houlder would get beat up from all angles instead of back and forth like I do now.

Not sure if it helos just throwing out what i would do for my case! Everyone is different...not sure the science between which is beter but I know what i would do.

Pretty much sounds like you got the idea. I wouldn't consider a rack deadlift a vertical pull (It's still a lower body movement really), but I don't think it works badly there. You are still getting a lot of stimulation on everything on your upper back. The idea is balance, so I think what you have is fine.

Have you considered using unilateral movements for the low body, like a lunge, instead of one of the other lower body movements?

I appreciate your input CP, I guess I never really looked at the RD as a lower body movement, I guess cause it fries my upper back/traps area, so I assumed it was an upper body movement, but if its ok, then I'll keep her!!!
Never really tried Lunges, are they a Total leg movement, or more of a quad or ham movement??? Interesting though, I just might have to try that!!!

I also think of a rack DL as more upper body, since I feel the lifting from the floor hits the lower body. But if you eliminate the lower part of the lift, it seems to be more of an upper body lift. OK, now I'm confused.

My preference would be not to mix, ie, keep horizontal push/pull together and vertical push/pull together.

Lunges hit everything pretty hard. However, it does depend on the type of lunge and the stride length. A longer stride tends to make the movement more hip-dominant. Walking lunges and reverse lunges also tend to be more hip-dominant, while the forward lunge moves along the continuum toward quad-dominance. Like I say though, any variation is great.

I feel like spewing some words of wisdom. You can analyze all you want...

But imo.... it is far more the lifter doing the split, rather then the split the lifter chooses to do. Does that make sense? In otherwords, working hard is way more important then the actual workout chosen.

And Arch buddy, you do it 112%
