Basically Lee Haywards 12 week strength routine - Except for the hypertrophy days I push as hard as I can to burn out the muscle and get a good pump so I end up hitting 15+ reps for the 10 rep exercises. I also removed the stability ball crap. Any barbell OHP I do in the smith machine from prior shoulder injuries (Dislocated/slap bankart tear surgery, Bone removal from other side)
