Let me describe the perfect date: I take her out to a nice dinner. She looks amazing. Some guy tries to hit on her... now he wants to fight - so I grab him - I throw him into the jukebox! Then the other ninja’s got a knife, he comes at me, we grapple, I turn his knife on him. Blood on the dance floor. She’s scared now. I take her home. I’m holding her in my arms. I reach in for a kiss... I hear something in the leaves, I flip her around, she gets a poison arrow right in her back. She was in on it the whole time... but I knew...

Leg day is whimpy.

You lack sufficient pulling movements relative to your pressing movements.

Unecessary amount of direct arm work.

What do you recommend for legs? I can throw in more pulls.

A general template I sort of use when designing a program goes something like this:

Pressing movements:
2 x Horizontal
2 x Vertical

Pulling Movements:
2 x Horizontal
2 x Vertical

Lower Body:
2 x Knee Dominant
2 x Hip Dominant


Example...

Pressing:
Bench Press
Standing Overhead Press
Decline DB Press
Steep Incline DB Press

Pulling:
Bent Rows
WG Pullups
Seated Cable Rows
NG Chinups

Lower:
Back Squats
Sumo Deadlifts
Lunges
Stepups


Spread those out across your split and then add in the bits of accessory work for your arms, calves, abs, etc. This time, don't do so much for your lateral and anterior delts though. If you do, balance it out.

Basicly what he's saying is that routine is focused on arms and chest, very little focus on back and legs. The "eye candy" routine.



Hit it and hit it hard.

How bout a program that involves ONLY using a barbell (or your own BW) and only moving that barbell vertically.

Bench
Bent Rows
Squats
Deadlifts
Stiff Deadlifts
Military Press
Calf Raise
Pull Ups
Dips

Any others?
How to group into 2 or 3 workouts?



What this means is that when we drop a ball and it falls to the ground, it wasn't the ball that moved (down to the ground), but the ground that moved (up to the ball)
