Reply With Quotetoo many sets and perhaps too few reps. Do 6-9 sets for larger body parts (chest, back, legs) and 4-6 sets for smaller body parts. Reduce your reps to 4-8 even 4-6 reps. What about your back?

please critique my routine
I weighed 241 pounds 6 weeks ago and now I weigh 211 and I am 6 feet 1 inch tall. I do cardio pretty hard about 4 times a week and have been watching what I eat. My current routine is as follows.
dumbell bench press 4 sets of 10
dumbell incline press 4 sets of 10
iso bench press 4 sets of 10
pec deck 4 sets of 10
seated dumbell curls 4 sets of 10
preacher curls 4 sets of 10
standing curls 4 sets of 10
skull crusher rope extentions 4 sets of 10
rope push down extentions 4 sets fo 10
seated tricep extentions with curl bar 4 sets of 10
This is my upper body routine and takes me about an hour and a half to complete.

I have a bad back and have to be very careful on what I do. About the only thing I do for my back is lat pulldowns. I am trying to get cut vs building mass. Thanks for the advice.

it's not advisable to lose more than 2 pounds per week.
What about your lower body?
what's wrong with your back, specifically?
do dumbell flys instead of pec dec.Carl McCoy wannabe.

question: when you say 6-9 sets do you mean for example CHEST----3 sets flat bench, 3 sets incline, 3 sets flies. and if you currently do 10 reps do you increase wieght so you can only achieve 4-8 reps. I do 10 on first 3 sets pyramiding up then 4th set failure on the 7th to 9th rep. thanx

there is some good stuff there, however EVERYTHING revolves around MAX-OT training, which is a great training method, but it is only ONE way of training.Originally posted by Grant_73

No one method training program will work for each person. That is why I believe most of us enjoy training. We are trying to find the routine that works. It is a quest.
