Which Workouts Should I Cut Out?

[hiestere]

I am in the gym for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours a day (depending on how fast I go and what day it is. Now that I am in college, I don't have the time for that. So I am going to give you my workout and I would like some input to see what workouts I can remove without it affecting my gains too much. I don't need to get rid of many.

PS All of my workouts are low reps high weight, usually about 5 reps 5 sets. ALSO I work abs every other day, that doesn't need to be adjusted (only takes like 10 minutes

WORKOUTS!!! :

Chest and Bicep / Back and Shoulder: / Legs and Triceps

Bench Press / Deadlift / Squats
Incline Press / Bent Over Rows / Standing Calf Raises
Decline Press / Machine Rows / Seated Calf Raises
Dumbbell Press / Lat Pull Downs / Leg Curls
Dumbbell Flies / Pull Ups / Leg Extensions
Decline Push ups (64) / Chin Ups / Leg Press
Wide Push ups (64) / Military Press / Close Grip Bench
Barbell Curls / Shoulder Press (dumbbells) / Overhead Barbell Extensions
Concentration Curls / Barbell Shrugs / Weighted Dips
Reverse Curls / Dumbbell Shrugs / Lying Tricep Press
Concentration Curls (again) / Side Shoulder Rises / Tricep Pushdowns
7 Set Curls (21s, whatever) / Front Shoulder Rises

My Bad for it being all scrunched together, the workouts are in columns by the workout days. I couldn't space them out more, it's pretty dumb. But, if you are any sort of smart, you should have no problem reading it. I don't want any stupid criticism for the layout.

Personal opinion, I wouldn't really cut out any of them. Do what you can in the time you have and the next day you come back to that split, contine from where you left off or switch out some every now and then.

Or switch to a 4 or 5 day split to fit everything you want to do in

EDIT: yeah, took me a few seconds to figure out how you posted your split lol

Personally, if time is an issue, i would start to cut from 5 sets to 4.
Then i would let go of some of the variations: dumbbell OR barbell shrugs, seated OR standing calf raises, cut the push ups (7 exercises for chest is a lot in my opinion), ease up on the curls and triceps stuff (again, 6 is a lot).
Maybe cut you rest time, going more intense...

But that's just me.

1. Cut the number of sets down to 3 and up your weights.
2. Replace one of the concentration curls and the 7-set curls with hammer curls to work the bradioradialis
3. Get rid of the push-ups

Check out "kane sumabat" on youtube or on here.
Hes got a video where he does like 20 minutes of continuous supersets.
Hes also a beast.

IMO drop the whole decline pushups line, instead of pullups then chins do weighted pullups/chins alternate every session/weekly. 5 exercises for biceps is a little OTT maybe, drop 21s and 1 concentration. Change CGBP to chest day instead of widepushups, widen grip on bb bench if worried. Sub in romanian DLs for leg curls and leg press. Depending when you rest also front raises on chest day and facepulls on back day.
Might lessen your time in gym.

I spent about 10 minutes modifying your program to resemble something decent only to realize your program is borderline beyond repair. Get on something that isn't so conflicting. You hit triceps and shoulders every single workout and then hit legs and back once. WTF OP?

Personally I think that's better.

In my opinion you've got so many exercises that are doing almost the same thing. You'd be better trimming it like I have and doing more sets per exercise if you are worried about the workload not being sufficient.

Frankly you can chop and change whatever you like or substitute however you see fit. I only wrote this to show you the scale of the cuts I'd make.

You got too much volume, man. Cut it down to 3 sets of 3 compounds movements per major muscle group and 3 sets of 1 movement for stuff like biceps. Seriously, sometimes less is more. If you really crave the volume try doing an upper/lower split and hitting everything twice per week, with more like 2 compounds per major muscle group per workout (twice per week). The added freqency will do more for you than blasting everything with such high volume once per week.
