Im a little skeptic about the reps? Should I do more than 4-6 reps per set? Yes or no? Or only on certain exercises? Also on friday am i overworking my arms?
All of thee above exercises are being performed at home on my home gym so im limited to what i can and cannot do.
Goals..
I wanna gain mass, muscle and strength can this be done with this routine?

I must have made an error haha. My bad i didn't mean to throw that in there.
Anyone
Is your weight adjusted to where 4 - 6 reps is pretty well all you can do?. Or could you do more.
I personally am hung up on the #24. I like to adjust my weight to where 3 sets 10 - 8 - 6 is pretty well it. In other words the on last 6, I know that is about all I can do, and hold good form.
I think you should be doing flat or decline presses instead of incline presses on Monday. Your next two movements both hit your anterior delts quite well. Decline and flat presses will allow you to put more stress on your triceps and chest. Or, you could do something like this:
Decline Press x 3
Incline Press x 2
Military Press x 3
I don't know if that is also the order you plan on doing your lifts, but if so, do deadlifts before you do leg extensions and curls.
That's an unnecessary amount of trap work. I would do some other type of row or pullup instead of one of the two types of shrugs.
Why twice as many sets for biceps as triceps?

Decline Press x 3
Incline Press x 2
Military Press x 3
"I think i will do that but "x3 Sets, x2 sets?"
Also that is about the only trap exercise i can get in on my home gym but if you have any suggestions of exercises im willing to do them..
Also the biceps and tri's with the twice as many sets, do you think i would be "over-training" my bi's and tri's?
I see CG Bench on fri's and imagine there for the Tri's that he works that day. Where did you see Cg Bench on back day unless it was re edited

What I laid out there is just a guideline for a suggestion. I was saying that 3 sets of some shrugs is plenty for your traps, as they get worked during various other movements. Still do some shrugs, but don't do 3 sets with 2 different movements.Originally Posted by wastedours
I don't really believe in training your arms directly, or not very much anyway. I am biased here, so keep that in mind. With that said, I think it is a waste of time to do so many isolation arm movements. Compound lifts are going to pound your arms.Also the biceps and tri's with the twice as many sets, do you think i would be "over-training" my bi's and tri's?

I see what you're saying, but I think it's a good balance. 3 angles of pressing movements. Another possible setup to consider would be bench press, dips, and overhead presses. I was just laying a guideline. I wanted him to make the final decision on the setup.Originally Posted by Tough Old Man
