JHUSE2 - Training routine Preview

[jhuse2]

I will take everyone's suggestions to heart. I am not a sissy man I can take critisism. That is why I posted it like this so I can refine it easier. The easiest way to be successful is to ask those that are. I am not above asking for help. I have until Sunday to smooth out the edges.

It overall looks good. My main concern was that your back and shoulder day might be too much. But you know your body better then me. Whatever you do, hit it hard!

I agree with BTB here, some people can handle a lot of shoulder work and some can not. My only concern was doing chest on monday which will work your shoulders and then doing them again the next day. Personally after a hard bench day my shoulders get pretty tired.

Overall looks like a solid well balanced program.

maybe I should swap my shoulders and legs. Legs will be tues. and shoulders will be thurs. Take my Trap exercises to my legs and add deadlifts. Will that round it out.
All I am trying to do is get a fun routine so I don't burn myself out in a month or two.

Looks good man, very balanced. The only thing that I can see that might not be fun, would be doing good mornings before deadlifts, I think it would significantly decrease the amount of weight you could use for deadlifts. That is a minor thing that you should feel out but I would try it both ways and see what works for you. Looks good! I am looking forward to your log

Looks good. Remember, you can always make minor adjustments without 86'ing the whole routine. Make it fun.

As a side note, congratulations on quitting smoking. Nicotine is a biotch to kick. What did it for me was adding up just how much money I was spending on chew. Also, I hope you can find employment soon. You are a very useful human being who is just underutilized right now. Keep us posted on everything. I wish you well.

thanks for the advise Val. I have been smoke free for little over two now. I still have dreams about smoking and every now and then the cravings hit me like Mac Truck. But I remember how I felt when I smoked. Food tastes and smells so much better now.
