Actually doesn't look too bad. Just my personally preference, but I would replace leg curls on squat day with RDLs.

[fbtodorov]

Yup, already did that
Thanks anyway
Was doing Candito's 6 weeks by now, but wanted something more hypertrophy oriented

[nigeltheoutlaw]

It has a lot more isolation exercises than I would probably do and definitely has way higher reps and volume than I would usually do, but it'll probably get you worked pretty well regardless. I'd replace leg curls with Romanian Deadlifts, the incline cable flies with dumbell chest flies, and lat pulldowns with assisted pullups since I think the fewer machines used the better, but that's just my opinion.

[fbtodorov]

Thanks for the answer
The leg curl is already replaced with RDL
The incline cable flyes is because upper chest is kind of lagging.....
and the pulldowns are there because ill do pullups the other day, the structure is workout A: horizontal pull heavy; vertical pull light; and the opposite for B

Unless a big military press is a goal of yours, ditch it and replace it with incline bench or incline db press

Im a bigger fan of only one upper and one lower day but the setup you have is good

Nice advice
Ill put the dips in the place of the mil press, and added again incline DB press in the place of the flyes, and 2 sets of DB OHP should be enough. Dont want to do the incline bench cause at the gym its fixed at 45 degrees and it feels way too much shoulders.
New routine is like this:

Upper A

Bench press 3 6-8
One arm DB row 3 6-8
Incline DB press 3 8-10

Shrugs 2 10-12
Lateral raises 2 10-12

Lower A

Exercise Sets Reps
Deadlift 3 6-8
Leg press 3 10-12
Leg curl 3 10-12
Standing calf raise 4 6-8
Swiss ball crunch 4 12-15


Upper B

Exercise Sets Reps
Wide grip pullup 3 6-8
Weighted dips 3 6-8
Cable row 3 8-10
Incline DB press 3 8-10
DB OHP 2 10-12
Face pulls 2 10-12
Skull crushers 2 10-12
BB curl 2 10-12

Lower B

Ooooooooooooooooor keep the military press ??? Hmmmmmmm hard decision

[Aadaawaay]

pretty decent man, I like the lower days, maybe 1 or 2 exercises too many on upper days for my liking but if your body handles it why not do it.

What would you remove from the upper days ?

[fbtodorov]

Ok, decided to keep the military press, and edited the original post with the final version. Gonna go with this one and see how it feels
Thanks for the advices
