    Routine Check

    Hey I'd appreciate it if I could get some general feedback on my routine. Im 19 6' 2" 190lbs and am lifting to primarily become a better, stronger basketball player but also jsut to get in better shape/look better. I'm not particularly strong yet (my current best sets every are 165X6 for bench and 245X5 for squats). I plan on starting some plyometrics as soon as I get my squat into the neighborhood of 300.

    Day 1 push
    Day 2 pull
    Day 3 off
    Day 4 legs/abs
    Day 5 off
    then Repeat

    Push
    4X10,8,6,5 BB Bench
    3X10,8,6 DB Incline Bench
    3X10,8,6 Millitary Press
    2X8 chest flies
    3X8 side laterals
    3X8 skull crushers

    Pull
    5X5 deadlift
    3X8,6,5 pullups
    2X8 widegrip lat pull downs
    3X8 bent over rows
    3X8 standing dumbell curls
    2X8 reverse preacher curls

    Legs
    5X10,8,6,4,4 Squats
    3X10,8,6 leg press
    4X8 SLDL
    3 sets of standing calf raises supersetted w/ 3 sets of seated calf raises
    3X8-12 weighted declince situps
    2X8 weighted decline twisting situps

    Thanks for any advice yall can give.

    P.S. I am used to training to failure more often than people here seem to reccomend (the primary concern is CNS failure, I belive?). What exactly does this mean and how would I know if this is happening to me?

    Not too bad, but in my opinion deadlifts deserve to go on leg day. Also, I would pump up the puling movements a little bit. Do a bunch of rowing to balance out that flat and incline presses. Drop one of the bicep exercises and do some rear delt work instead to balance out the flys.
    The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

    Thanks for the input. What do you mean when you mean deads deserve to be on leg day. If I move deadlifts to leg day i will be doing like 28 sets that day or something (including squats and deads which sounds horrible). I guess I could move abs to back day and make it work, but I thought it was standard practice to seperate deads and squats...

    It just makes so much more sense to put deadlifts on leg day in my opinion. The movement is all hip and knee extension. If you feel like it works better this way you'll probably be fine, but I gave my reasoning.

    A lot of people prefer to separate squats and deadlifts, but I don't think you have to. You could always alternate between squats and deadlifts each week too.
