    I know, I know, another critique my routine thread



    Seriously though. I think I have been overtraining by doing 1-2 body part routines. My shoulders especially are starting to feel it.

    How about this?

    Day 1
    Bench Press
    Shoulder Press
    Dips
    Cable Pressdown
    Fly machine

    Day 2
    DB Rows
    Lat Pulldowns
    Pull ups or cable row
    DB Curls
    Preacher Curls

    Day 3
    Legs (I haven't gotten to this yet but probably something like this)
    Squats
    Leg Extensions
    DL
    Calf raises

    Thanks.

    Bye.

    Day 2
    DB Rows
    Lat Pulldowns
    Pull ups or cable row

    it would help if you posted the number of sets and reps. On leg day I would drop the extensions though and do lunges like foreman said. I would also do another hamstring dominant movement like hamstring curls. The rest doesnt look too bad, but still needs some work.

    Seems reasonable enough. If I changed anything I would probably throw a little extra upper back work on your day 2, and maybe some shoulder prehabilitation work on day 1, like rotator cuff exercises. I would also do deadlifts before leg extensions on day 3, and preferably no leg extensions at all. Replace that with some kind of unilateral lower body movement like lunging or stepups.
