Thread: My Tricep, delt, chest routine(would like some advice)

Looks reasonable enough to me.

Personally, I would do the delt stuff before the tricep stuff, as overhead pressing uses your triceps--don't want them to be fatigued.

Looks good. Just make sure the Intensity is there!!

Thanks for the feedback.

Just one comment, CG bench press is primarily a tricep excersize. You may want to do Flyes or something instead of that, and put that in your tricep excersize (if you think you need it, I only do 2 tricep excersizes, 3 may be too much so you might want to just eliminate one....keep skullcrushers they're great).

Looks good though.

Good advice. Arnold presses are garbage IMO...your already doing sets of presses try some upright rows or maybe something to hit your rear delts

This is why I deem classifying multi-joint movements by body part nonsense. A close grip bench press works all the same muscles as a regular bench press. The only difference is that there is a larger range of motion, and the horizontal adduciton component is virtually eliminated. However, by the same token, the range of motion that shoulder flexion occurs through is greater.

Chest:
3x7-10 reps DB press
2x7-10 reps Incline DB press
2x6-8 reps CG bench press ( this is a triceps exercise, so if you do this in your workout you are doing only 5 sets of chest and then doing 7 sets of triceps) OR 3x8-10 reps of Cable Crosses

Triceps
3x8-10 reps of Skullcrushers
2x7-10 reps cable pulldowns

Delt.....do after chest and before triceps
3x6-8 reps Arnold Presses
2x7-10 reps front press and same for back press....back press???
2x7-10 reps lateral raises.

I've never really set up a routine before, but i figure making one up is the better way to go, so dont bash me or anything, well u can if u want but I'd really appreciate comments on what to adjust, reduce, increase on my routine.

If these muscles are being trained only once a week then you need more volume.

No All those get hit twice a week. Back press, i think thats it, its where you take the bench press bar and press it behind the head upwards...
