    Help Needed On My 3 Day Split

    Hey guys,
    Just wanting to get some help on my routine.

    I am wanting to do a 3 day split MON-WED-FRI.

    Legs:

    Squats
    Stiff Leg Deadlift
    Deadlift
    Standing Calf Raise
    Reverse Calf Raise (Shin Conditioning)


    Upper Body

    Bent Over Barbell Row
    Bench Press
    Military Press
    Bench Dips (No Dip Station Avilable)
    Skullcrushers
    Close Grip Bench
    Chin Ups
    Pull Ups
    Barbell Curls

    Thanks.

    ^ Depending on how many sets you do for the upper exercises, that could easily get out of hand.

    You could always do:

    Week 1 - Upper/Lower/Upper
    Week 2 - Lower/Upper/Lower

    Repeat.

    Or was that what you meant, Mike?

    I'm not a big fan of bench dips because of the excessively internally rotated position your shoulder is placed in, but if you haven't had problems thus far you will probably be okay.

    Overall, it seems like you have a little too much on the upper body workout.

    The lower body day looks fine to me. I always say that a bit of emphasis on the posterior chain is fine, but more work for the anterior side tends to be problematic.
    The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
