Thread: 3 Day Split Routine - Feedback Please

Hey guys.

This is what i've been training with recently, i've been making some decent gains so far. I'm pretty sure my shoulders are lagging. If anyone can direct me as to how to help them catch up, i'd be most grateful. Everything is 4x8 unless said otherwise

Day 1 - Legs/Abs

Squats
Stiff Legged Deadlifts
Calf Raises
Weighted Ab Curls - 2x to failure
Hanging Leg Raises
Dumbell Side Bends

Day 2 - Chest/Tri's/Shoulders

Flat DB Bench
Incline DB Bench
Military Press
CG Bench
2x8 Lateral Raises
2x8 Rear Delt Fly

Day 3 - Back/Bi's/Traps

Deadlifts
DB Bent Over Rows
Wide Grip Chins
Standing BB Curls or Preacher Curls
Shrugs

I like the first one better as well, although I would probably do another pulling movement or two if I were you. I say some other form of rowing would be a good idea; I like seated cable rows a lot.
