Need Help! New evolution of my routine requires some fine tuning

Yes! Exactly. Or I should say, I will be, as from next week, if all goes according to plan.

3. Follow this scheme on a rotational basis.
4. Add more SM exercises as I progress.

Oh, and I swapped the Tyre flip and stairs to earlier in the Strongman routine. I have no idea why I thought the heaviest movements should be done last... sounds like a built-in excuse to puss out.

Q: Is DB upright rows to chest also too much on Chest day?

bump?

Chest day doesnt look too much to me Ab's. As long as you are keeping the dumbbells close to the body and only coming up so upper arms are parallel to the floor then the medial delt will be doing most of the work. Your hitting the front delt with all the pressing and rear delt on back day. Looks good to go from that aspect buddy
