How is that? I might replace leg press with squats when ive built some better lower body strength. But is this an ok routine? Ive been doing a routine very simular to this for a week (this is jsut a better version) and im pretty sore so at last its using muscles i havnt used for a while.
I struggled a lot with the shoudler day (which was today). By the time i got to upright rows i struggled to lift any decent weight

Feedback would be appreicated.

As a beginner I would go for a FB routine. More info on the subject can be found here: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=998224

As a beginner I would say Rippetoes is way better than any split.

As a beginner I would start out with 3 sets of your exercises 8 to 12 reps. Not being able to get 13. And one of the biggest things you didn't mention you do, is stretching. stretch before, during and after to reduce your risk of injury. Stretching is the first thing a beginner of any exercise program should learn first. Happy lifting.

Heh, I agree with with above posters (full body or SS).

On another note, how the heck do you have 2K posts on this board and have no idea what routines are good for beginners? Just curious...
