Reply With QuoteWhat are your goals? Power/strenght/mass/endurance? You have a good mix of exercises. Assuming you are after more mass than power, I would try and work my back only once a week and recduce number of sets to a total of 10 or 12 per workout. I would also see if you can add in T-bar rows. If you mix up your routine every few weeks you can keep things interesting (mentally) by changing your routine and keep your muscles adapting to your changing routine. But first you need to identify what your goals are. Then more direct comments can be made on your current routine based on your goals.

Why only once a week? Why not every 4-5 days?

Gee I wonder if those multi week injections have anything to do with that? Originally Posted by Tough Old Man

You are a little older than I am (I am 47) but I find it hard for me to keep my intensity up working the muscle groups more frequently than 7 to 8 days. When I was in HS and Jr College, I worked my whole body 3 times a week. I did not feel over trained, but I did not get really big either (poor diet). Once a week is working well for me.If you always have a great day, you will always have a great life.
