Thread: how's this routine?

i would take a look at the stickies....

exercise selection as well as intensity needs to be improved.

Its Bad, Way Too Many Exercises, Body Part Split, To Heavy On Isolation Movements, Just Go Heavy On The Big Movements, Read The Stickies.

Wow bud, you have read to many bodybuilding mags.

Upper/Lower/off/off/Upper/Lower/off

or

Push/off/legs/off/pull/off/off

or

Toatl body/off/Toatl body/off/Toatl body/off/off

quite a bit of volume, in my opinion.

been away for a week so i've just seen your thoughts, obviously you boys think there's too much volume involved!!!!

So on the main exercises like bench, inclines, shoulder press, deads, squats, etc are my numbers of sets and reps alright if I just cut down the isolation one's?

go read the stickies
