    REPOST: 3 months and need some critique. (REPPING)

    i am near finishing my third month of my workout regime.
    i have made some decent, noticeable gains in my opinion.

    i went from 175 to 190 without really counting calories but with the "bulking" mentality in mind; eating plenty of carbs and scarfing protein whenever available-atleast 100g a day. first two months used a regular whey protein with sporadic creatine use( and did not load). now using a weight gainer and creatine daily.

    but now i want you guys to give me some constructive criticism/advice/tips on whether im doing it right or not before ive invested too much in an inefficiency.

    here is my workout:

    back/bicep(shoulders subsituted sometimes for back)

    machine pulldowns 3x8 + burnout set
    cable rows 3x12 + burnout set
    barbell rows 3x5
    deadlifts (occasionally..yeah)

    bicep
    chin-ups 3x8 currently with rep increase whenever possible
    barbell curls 3x(5-8) once i can do 8 i add 10 lbs cause that is what is available in my gym
    dumbell hammers 3x(5-8) once i can do 8 i do a 2.5lb/dumbell pound increment
    dumbell curls ( same as hammers)
    last workout varies between preachers or a bicep machine,usually a burnout

    shoulders
    pull-ups 3x till failure
    military press 3x6
    flys 3x8

    chest and tricep:

    chest
    regular bench press3x5 + burnout set
    incline bench 3x6 + burnout set
    decline machine/bench press 3x8
    pectoral fly machine 3x8
    pushups 3 sets to failure

    tricep
    dips 3x10-15
    close grip bench 3x6-8
    skull crushers 3x8
    kickbacks 3x10 usually superset with rope/tricep extension/tri push-ups

    p.s: yes i do neglect legs; i am content with them,in other words, bottom heavy. also,i dont do forearms or traps as im short on time; same goes for legs.

    thank you for your time; it is greatly appreciated.

    Seems like a solid routine! Keep at it, make sure to vary your exercises so they aren't constantly the same.

    Some pictures would help,

    Deadlifts are more of a leg workout if you're down them right. I do pull-ups twice a week. Once on back day and three days later.

    If you're a beginner to lifting I would opt for more frequency.
    Also, unless you have a disability that stops you from squatting, work your legs. Don't be a pussy.

    looks like a pretty solid routine. Look into Larry Scott tricep extensions-another great way to work the long head, especially if you have elbow issues. Personally, this absolutely slaughters my triceps more than anything else. Give it a try and see if you like it

    Seriously guys this isn't a great routine for several reasons

    1. HE DOSEN'T DO LEGS - you cant have a good routine without training legs simple
    2. He sometimes swaps back for shoulders - back is one of your most important muscles neglect it and your in for a whole world of problems
    3. He is doing the same amount for biceps as back. back is a major muscle group biceps minor. back needs more training.
    4. He only does deadlift sometimes - this along with squat are the main lifts. The deadlift recruits the muscles from your whole body from top to bottom miss this and your loosing out big time, not to mention it is a very functional lift
    5. He isn't getting proper target for all muscles in back.

    Here are a few tips change everything. start on something like a legs/push/pull if your struggling for time or a full body. Second make sure that you are exercise bodyparts in the rite ratio. Back should have much more attention than biceps. And please start training legs or your in for even more problems

    couldnt have said it better myself...legs should come before biceps and triceps...
