Thread: Un-needed Exercises?

Hey all, have been doing this push/pull/legs routine for about a month now, with pretty decent results (put on about 4lbs or something, i dunno. looking a lot better anyway!), but im thinking of taking out some exercises that are perhaps un-needed, if i make changes to compensate.

Youll see what i mean. Theres just too much in here, and though it works, a large proportion of my workout time is taken up by changing equipment around. Only just keeping it under the hour mark.


PUSH

Weighted Dips - 3
BB Bench - 3
OH Press - 2
Weighted Push Ups - 2
DB Flys - 3
Arnold DB Press - 2
DB Bench - 3
Skullcrushers - 3


PULL

Weighted Chin Ups - 3
Deadlifts - 4
DB Lat Raises - 2
BB Curl - 2
Bent Over BB Rows - 3
DB Front Raises - 2
Concentration Curls - 2
One Arm DB Bench Rows - 3
DB Shrugs - 2


LEGS

Full Squats - 4
Lunges - 2
Hack Squats - 4
Good Mornings - 2
Heel Raises - 4


Lil too many exercises methinks. The numbers are sets obviously.

What i was thinking, was for pull: Take out Concentration Curls and add a set to both BB Curl and Chin Up.

For push: Would it be alright to take out BB Bench altogether? I much prefer DB bench, but cant think of any exercises i could put in to replace it. I suppose i could do 4 sets of DB bench and 4 sets of Flys?

Also, after reading up on this, Front + Lat raises are actually meant to go on push day? That seems a little weird, can anyone clarify that?

If its true i was gonna take out the Arnold press (since its really just a DB overhead press anyway), and put those two exercises on Push day somewhere.

Any other suggestions? ESP for leg day. Im fairly new to training legs "hardcore" on a day of their own, so not sure about that one.

Like i said, im making pretty good gains doing this, but chances are with all these little mistakes/uneeded exercises, i COULD possibly be making slightly better gains.

That sorta thing haunts ya dont it?

Thanks in advance though .
