The best way to handle it would be to target all three main muscles involved (tris, front delts, and pecs) with compound lifts focusing on those muscles. Isolating those wont give you much progress. ...

So any advice or are you just here to tell me what's wrong?

Model 1 or Model 2? I'm just concerned about having too much recovery time. One allows more, one allows less. By the way, it's a 5x5.

Also:

"A" = OHP, Bench Press, Bent Over BB Rows, Pull-Ups,...

Out of these lifts, organize them from weakest to strongest, generally speaking.

Overhead barbell press / military press

Bench Press

Bent Over Barbell Row (For lats.) (Strict form, torso...

Okay... So you're saying bench should be HEAVIER than rows... "Lat rows"... Just to make sure I'm understanding / you didn't make a typo... I always thought the back should be stronger than the...

Particularly pecs / lats balance (Benchpress and bent over rows for lats). My rows are only about ten pounds heavier than my BPs at the moment. Is that normal? Should I be concerned or trying to fix...

You just should stop overanalyzing so many things.

Your main concern should be your nutrition. You could compete in a triathlon every day and still pack on mass as long as you appropriately adjust...

Right, that's basically what I meant. Just figuring it out "manually" so to speak. So basically just keep adding weight though until it presents a significant challenge or takes a significant amount...

Really? So basically it would benefit me to forget about 1RM calculators, equations, etc. and just basically go by intuition and guess work in terms of finding a weight to start with? And you're...

Right, and after you deduct the weight, you just keep advancing again from there correct? My mindset is: everybody stalls, so if I can use 90% 1RM and stall just a little sooner, that's fine.

I've noticed that some programs say to use "85%+" of your 1RM for work sets. What's with the plus? Does that mean its advisable or beneficial to perhaps use 90% if you can?

So, I have a pull up bar, not to mention a gym membership.

But I'm bored, I have a little bit of money to spend today, and I've been wanting to mess around with DIY stuff for a little while, just...

As in low number of reps, high number of sets (3x10 respectively) training to achieve neural adaptation? I know when you going for hypertrophy - at least the way i do it - you'd be best to do...
