That would def. work for me. I'll see what other people gotta say about it but thanks man.

Assuming your goals are hypertrophy
Upper 4x6-12 60-90sec RI
Flat Bench
Rows
Overhead Press
Pull-ups

Lower 4x6-12 60-90sec RI
ATG Squats
SLDL
Core Work
Calves

Day 1- Upper
Day 2- Lower
Day 3- Off
Day 4- Upper
Day 5- Lower
Day 6 & 7- OFF

I would throw in another horizontal pull excercise, perhaps face pulls.

Yes my goals are hypertrophy

Would it hurt if i added dips? i love doing them. Should i be doing standing rows or bent? when u say overhead press you mean military press?

What do you mean by ATG squats? And what is considered the core?

Do you guys think a 3 day work out would be better than a 4 day work out if im trying to bulk?

Thanks for your time man.

What does everyone else think?

throw in dips i love doing them too haha. bentover rows. yes overhead press is military press w/barbell or dumbbell. atg=ass to grass squats(no 1/4,1/2 squats full squats). the core is your adominal(sp?) muscles i think haha

If you add dips, add in a vertical pull- such as CG Underhand Chins.
I mean Bent-over rows, any variation you like BB/DB/T-BAr/Yates.
Military Press is an overhead press, so any variation you like DB/BB/Seated/Standing.
What do you mean by ATG squats? And what is considered the core?
ATG Squats are squats all the way down. ATG stands for Ass to Ground or Grass for that reason. Core is abs/lower back, you could do planks/reverse hypers/abdominal work, etc.
Do you guys think a 3 day work out would be better than a 4 day work out if im trying to bulk?
4 days is better, 2 days a week for upper, and 2 days a week for lower.
If you feel it is too much 1 week you can do upper twice and lower once, and then the next week lower twice and upper once.Thanks for your time man.
No Problem

I would not consider pullovers a chest exercise. That would be more of a back exercise. Replace that with dips, or perhaps some other type of pressing movement, like incline dumbbell presses.

Cuban presses are fine for a prehabilitation movement for the shoulders, it involves external rotation, but I would also include some type of more direct posterior delt work like reverse flys or face pulls. You don't necessarily have to take out the cuban presses, but add a rear delt movement in there.

Day 2
Back, Anterior & Lateral Delts, Triceps
-Bent rows
-Middle back shrug
-Seated Good mornings
-Upright rows
-Lateral Raises

I would get some type of pulldown or chinup/pullup in there. Do that right before or after the bent rows. You could also throw the pullovers on this day if you wanted. I say cut the upright rows. You have no need for those. Do an overhead press instead. Move the good mornings to leg day.

Day 3
Legs, Calves, Abs
-Front squats
-Hack squats
-Stiff legged dead lift
-Calf raises
-Decline Crunch

Not too bad. With the seated good mornings on this day, I think you would be in pretty good shape. I might do them standing to overload your hamstrings/glutes to a larger degree, but you don't necessarily have to.


So that's the exercise selection. What was your plan with regards to intensity and volume?

Don't go that heavy with isolation stuff. Something like 8 reps is the lowest I would go with isolation movements. That's a lot of stress for one joint and very little musculature to bear.

Don't make good mornings your last exercise. You don't want to be fatigued for this one, heh.

ok cool, 8-10 reps sounds good to me on the isolation exercises.

And i will switch the good morning closer to the begining of the work out.
