How is it terrible? There is way too much conflicting information on these forums. I don't want to do a full body routine. I want an Upper/Lower split.

Thanks for adjusting my routine, but could you tell me why there is a total of 10 sets for chest per week and 13 for shoulders? I thought chest needed more direct work than shoulders. Also what is cgpd?
