Comments please.... except from that "Mule" guy.

that was funny!

First of all Welcome!

Second, what exactly is your goal? Size, strength, get lean, etc.?

Your volume is a bit high on the work-out, especially your shoulder work-out. Example, I would not do squats and leg press the same day. Drop some of those exercises on shoulder work-out too.

------------------
Just because the majority believes it, does not make it true!

Its not to bad, more volume than I do but if your progressing than thats all that matters.

Personaly, I like keeping my sets to 3 for larger muscles with one warm up set on the first exercise.
You've got alot of stuff there for shoulders, unless your your weak point, I'd cut it back a bit as they get worked doing chest and back already.

i like your split though.

Too many sets.

Lot's of redundancy, too.

Complex problems have simple, easy to understand, wrong answers.

 

[Mr Smooth]

Thanx guys....that explains why I have been getting more "cut" instead of getting "HUGE"
Basically, I eat anything that isn't attached to the ground, I weigh 196lbs, 6'2" tall, and I am focusing more on getting that "v-taper" on my back than anything.....oh yeah.... I run to and from the gym, as the only gym in town is 5 miles away from my house.
Not too bad for a guy that was 228lbs in January, eh?!?

What I do? Man I want to say something. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

personally I still think your doing to many sets per bodypart. I wouldn't do over 3 sets per bodypart. but that's just my .02
