    Suggestions, constructive criticism?

    This is my routine (although I'm thinking of changing around some of the exercises) and all the weights are totals:


    Monday: - 5 min walk to warm up -
    (sets_x_reps per set)
    5x5 dumbbell presses w/80 lbs (use bench and SQUEEZE)

    - 1 min break -
    5x5 dumbbell flies w/50 lbs (SQUEEZE)

    - 1 min break -

    5x5 skullcrushers w/52.5 lbs

    - 1 min break -

    5x10 crunches

    - 5 min walk to cool down -


    Wednesday: - 5 min walk to warm up -
    5x5 curls w/60 lbs (remember to SQUEEZE at top)

    - 1 min break -
    5x5 hammer curls w/60 lbs (don’t twist on the way up, and remember to squeeze)

    - 1 min break -
    5x5 military presses w/40 lbs

    - 1 min break -
    5x5 dumbbell shrugs w/90 lbs

    - 5 min walk to cool down -


    Friday: - 5 min walk to warm up -

    5x5 deadlifts w/112.5 lbs

    - 1 min break -

    5x5 squats w/90 lbs

    - 1 min break -
    5x5 bent over rows w/62.5 lbs (keep back straight + knees slightly bent)

    - 1 min break -
    5x5 single leg calf raises w/60 lbs

    - 5 min walk to cool down -


    I'm fifteen years old and my main goal is to gain strength. I've actually made some pretty decent gains, but I was wondering if there's something I should do to improve the workout.

    If anyone could add anything, move something around, suggest new exercises or get rid of ones on there - anything at all - I'd appreciate it.

    Donīt feel bad because nobody posted anything. It is just because exercises routines is almost a secretive thing, very personal. Ask about a single excercise if you are in doubt. Look in the online journals to get an idea.

    The bunny is right. If you ask ten different people about their routine you'll get ten different answers. Check out everyone Else's routine and form one of your own. This is what I've done and I've changed it according to results.

    P.S. Bunnies don't workout. This is why he wouldn't fix your routine. Although for such a small brain, they're filled with much insight!
