    too many chest exercises on chest/tris day. Take out decline in my opinion and cable crossovers.

    I'm not a fan of only hitting a bodypart once a week but it actually looks solid to me as long as your adding weight to the bar every week.

    Squat 445 w/ wraps (405 raw no wraps)
    Competition Bench 275
    Deadlift 435

    decline is the best angle to hit your chest at; if your going to give some advice, please give some descent tips

    I've heard mixed opinions on this. Some only do decline pressing. Some think it's a waste of time. For me personally i was just saying he has too many exercises which is common sense so if he wants to take out flat or incline pressing or just the 2 fly movements then he can. My bad for saying taking out decline. 1 or 2 of the exercises should be taken out tho.

    i agree with this guy. Flat bench is enough, you dont need decline too.

    exactly. If this guy is just starting out then there is no need to "hit it from all angles" that's just broscience.
    is decline useful for bodybuilding purposes? Sure but a good strength based needs to be built first. I actually believe this 4 day split is good though just needs editing like that

    Monday: Legs
    -Squat
    -Leg Press
    -Leg Extensions
    -Seated Leg Curl
    -standing Calf Raises
    -Straightleg deadlift

    Tues: Chest/Triceps/Shoulders
    -Bench Press/Decline Bench Press (pick one each workout, it's fine to mix it up every workout and not do the same kind each time)
    -Incline dumbbell press (kinda pointless, if you feel these necessary)
    -Triceps rope pushdown (if you really feel this is necessary)
    -Dips
    -Military Press
    -Lateral raises


    Wen: OFF

    Thurs: Back/Biceps
    -Pull ups (warm up)
    -bent over row
    -Deadlift
    -shrugs (just pick DB or BB, two exercises for these is ridic. They get hit by deadlifts as well so these aren't really that necessary)
    -seated row
    -chin ups
    -BB curl (not necessary either, but if you really wanna hit bis, just do these if you can after doing chinups/bent over rows/seated rows...)

    Fri: This day is redundant. shoulders/traps fit better into other days more effectively.

    Fixed, OP.

    Way too many exercises on chest...you don't need 4 different exercises for biceps. They should be getting hit plenty with chinups and bent over rows/seated rows. Traps go better just with your back day since you deadlift, and DL is hitting them then. Shoulders are getting worked on chest/tri day with dips and bench press, I just prefer to save the time and work them then since overhead press/military press involves triceps as well.
