I'm training for EVERYTHING - check my routine please

[IEatPowerRacks]

So I've been changing my routine a lot and here's what I finally came up with. Yes, I know it's high volume, but it's summer and I have plenty of time to experiment. If I need to fix anything, let me know.

Lower Body, Upper Body, Rest, Repeat


All exercises in order



LB
5x3 clean + jerk
5x3 snatches
5x5 back squats
maybe a few sets of front squats, depending on how my quads feel.







UB

5x5 Bench SS with 5x7 Rows
3x5 DB Bench SS with 3x8 wide-grip pull ups
2x6-8 BB Incline SS with 1x8 wide-grip pull-ups, 1x6 medium grip pull-ups
2x6-8 DB Incline SS with 2x6 medium grip pull-ups
3x5 military press
possibly some DB shoulder presses, depending on how my shoulders feel
3x8 biceps

no deadlift

you have a bicep isolation but no tricep isolation

and why do db and bb in same day

personally i dont like it but thats just my opinion

I would say throw some leg press in there for your LB.

Ah, I don't care about deadlift because no one looks at lower back mass anyways... why not do db and bb the same day? I don't have tricep isolation because they're getting plenty of work from the compounds - I can tell because of DOMS.

Well, yeah you won't like it, it's really unconventional because it incorporates every aspects (besides strongman) lifting. I'm training for athleticism, mass, strength, explosiveness, agility, EVERYTHING.

Screwed that, my quads are getting plenty from front and back squats.

if you are going for athleticism you need deadlift, every sport needs lower back, idk what sports you play, but football, wrestling, lacrosse, soccer, etc also you pretty much only have quads, not much for hamstrings. add core too unless you just dont have it listed, since that is another must for athleticism

I thought you were training for everything? Deadlift does more than build lower back mass...and it's obvious you put quite a bit more focus on your upper body workouts.

Meh. Clean and Jerk has more transfer into sports, I believe. I don't really care about lower back mass, and the cleans will help yo build a little anyway. My hamstrings are actually almost always sore after leg day because I go below what most people would consider ATG (lots of leg flexibility because of genetics).

Actually, I feel more DOMS in my lower body - I just train however I feel is enough. If I want back to my old routines with less volume, I wouldn't feel much because my upper body has adapted a lot faster. I recently got a barbell + power rack, so I wasn't able to train my legs as much. I'll be adding more as my legs adapt.
