Routine Critique? Final Push...
Hey guys, thanks first of all for looking.
I've did the Bill Starr 5x5 for a bit, than switched to P/RR/S(which I dont feel did too much for me)
It's almost summer, i'm trying to get my final gains as I wont be trying to "bulk" anymore.. I'm 5'11 178.5lbs. I'm not trying to get the "stocky" build really.
I eat about 2,600 calories a day, and try to get about 180 grams of protein a day. Like I said, I know for bulking stages you should do atleast 3,000+ a day.. but regardless.. check the routine.
I've basically been doing reverse pyramids sets of 12/10/8
For example, my chest/tri routine is like this.. Now before I post it all, do you think this is a bad routine in general? My friend does this and it works great for him..
Bench 185lbs, 195lbs, 205lbs
Incline Dumb 65lbs, 70lbs, 75lbs
Skulls: 85, 95, 105
Pushdowns: 80, 90, 100

If that is the extent of your workout program then it sucks.

I know everyone is different and responds in different ways. The first time I tried P/RR/S I did not get great results, however I did not follow the program the way I should have. Then I looked at the program a second time and dedicated myself to following everything as closely as I could. Once I decided to this and really, really push myself to the limits, I've had fantastic results.
I believe with any program you look at performing you have to dedicate yourself to working your ass off. I see too many people walk into our club and hit 3 or 4 different machines and walk out after 20 minutes. Then I think to myself, wow, what a waste of time. Not saying you are doing this, but just my input!

doing only 2 chest exercises but doing 2 tricep exercises?? Swap one of those tricep exercises for parallel bar dips. You'll be surprised how hard your triceps are hit doing chest.
The other day I did weighted pushups and dips and my triceps were much more sore for the days following than chest. This was a sign doing any tricep iso would be overtraining.
