What do ya guys think.. i wanna start monday

In my opinion, there is too much pushing in relation to the ammount of pulling that you are doing. You have 9 upper body pushing exercises and only 4 upper body pulling exercises. I would reverse those numbers, but that's just me.

I would agree with Offroad here. Something simpler would probably be better.

There is a huge focus on chest in this routine and really a lack of pulling movements. Back is key!

Huge thank you. I hear what you guys are saying. There is more chest emphasis because my chest needs to be brought up.. I made some changes, lessened some volume.. and decided I will try to keep increading my big 3 bench, squat and dead.. Keep them in 6-8 rep range and try to get them increased As much as possible. A bigger bench = bigger arms i'd assume, right?

And How does this look? I'd appreciate feedback. I hope this is better! If not, any corrections would help!

Haha...It actually looks worse...
Now you now have 10 pushing and only 4 pulling exercises on your upper body days. If you were really advanced you may need that much pushing but you'd still need to balance the pulling. But something tells me you aren't advanced enough for that many pushing exercises, I'd cut some of it back...

This would get you a little more balanced with 6 and 4 and hit your chest from every angle.

Thanks.. Unforently I need more chest volume as my chest is slowest to grow.. Also, when i've incoporated more tricep volume my arms grew the biggest they've been which i've done it like that.. Amyway I can make it more of a chest emphasis? Id rather start with 2 bench days, or 1 bench 1 incline.. I seem to respond well to volume.. my goal is aestetics but I know progression and stregnth are key components as well

..How would that look, I took out 2 sets of millitary press and added in inclines.. I dont know if that would work or not.. Also, what about my medial delts?

Looks better.

Thanks.. so this is perfect for size and aestetics? But what about medial delts? Like adding in side raises to first upper day?

I said it was better, not perfect. There is no such thing as perfect. It would be benefitial to stop looking for the perfect routine that hits everything.

Looking through your past posts I think just sticking with a bench press and a shoulder press and just getting big-time-strong would serve you "best". But you also have to believe in your program and have fun doing it, so carry on.

Thanks Offroad. I appreciate the help. I will do it as we have it and just focus on adding as much weight to the bar as possible. And maybe sub in diff exercises at times, like skullcrushers for tricep pushdowns, or close grip bench oinstead of tricep pushdowns, or bench dips, etc etc.. hammer curls instead of regular.. I will cut down on my diet a little bit more and still try to add more more weight. Then, slowly clean bulk and try and add even more weight and look like a Natty Jay Cutler LOL

thanks again! excited to try this one this week

Edit- I learned a lot from this routine. One - make sure your routine is balanced with push to pull ratio.. And, instead of trying to add a bunch of different exercises to the routine.. Get really strong in a FEW exercises and you will grow!
