Where's the posterior chain work? Lower body pulling movements are important. Leg curls are kinda lame. I would do some kind of movement that focuses on hip extension as opposed to knee flexion. The glutes are important too.

I would scrap the upright rows.

I actually think that is kind of a lot of volume if you're going to do a push-pull program 4 days a week.

Where are the squats and the deadlifts?

**P-funk** · 11-25-2006, 03:30 PM

also, are you going to do the exact same loading on both days?

tyman502 · 11-25-2006, 10:59 PM

Hey, instead of leg presses i will throw in the squats. And instead of upright rows what should i insert there???? And im still wondering on my sets, and reps. Should i move to a six rep roatation?

You can do seated rows with more weight than you can bench press? With me its the other way around. my back is a little weaker than my chest. Just thought that was odd...............
