    It looks pretty good to me. Maybe do something like Romanian deadlifts instead of leg curls, but I think the exercises you chose look good.

    I would do hang cleans first in your Monday workout and do 5x3 or 8x3 instead of 5x5. You don't really want to let fatigue affect how you do those.

    Try the lat pulldowns one arm at a time; they're excellent after chins.
    Wondering where to start? Confused? "Homework 1" will get you started.

    Think you're ready for the "next step"? Take this test.
