Thread: New Routine Push Pull: Grade it

18 sets X 60 sec for rest + 30 for actual lift = 27 minutes of actual lifting. Now, add in the time it takes you too stretch and warm up & shower, maybe do some cardio etc and you're looking at a lot of time in the gym. Just saying so.

27 minutes "actual lifting" does not seem very long to me!

its OK! C+
what equipment do you have available??

dont we have some stickies around here somewheres ....

I can never find them, someone should stick them to the top of the page!

You're lacking any movements that are primarily hip extension, such as a deadlift or good morning variation. I would get at least one into the program on pull day.

I would probably drop one of the tricep exercises you do on push day in the interest of time, but if you can get through the workout in a reasonable amount of time then that's cool.

I say drop the upright rows and do another more traditional rowing movement. Scapular retraction is a grossly underused articulation. Most people need this in spades because of all the sitting they do.

Rear pulldowns are unnecessary in my opinion. Externally rotating and abducting your shoulders 90 degrees is generally considered an at risk position. However, you don't do any back squats, so that does reduce the stress placed on your shoulders in this regard. Nonetheless, I would stick in a chinup/pullup variation instead.

I would do your flys after the lunging and overhead pressing. No need to put that first, unless you feel that your chest is lagging horribly.

Thanks guys for the help so far i will do a varaiton of benching also and i do need to drop the leg press and do a tradional squat. I will also switch the flys up too. Thanks and i hope to start this program on Monday. Tell you what i think of it so far later.

Wow thats seems like somewhat of a good grade to get form Foreman.

Good Luck man, hope all goes well ...

Hello everyone and how are you all doing? Well i have tried my new workout for a week know and what can i say. I absolutley love it, i get in the gym at about 3:45 and leave around 5. It seems to be working very well and i have already gotten through the plateau i expeinced with my bench. Just letting you all know how it is going. And by the way i changed the leg presses to squats. Thanks men.

Any new suggestions?

Glad to hear you are breaking through your sticking points. I think that I would rather group exercises like you got bench then leg press then back to a chest movement. I would rather keep chest together then go to a leg movement. But thats just my 2 cents.
