Personally, Id hate that routine (not a fan of the exericse selection but that is entirely up to you). I would drop exercises to 3 sets since you train 5-6 days a week. I do a PPL and incorporate one heavy day, one hypertrophy, I would highly recommend it.
I do:
Heavy Push, Hypertrophy Pull, Heavy Legs, Hypertrophy Push, Heavy Pull (Deadlifts on this day), Hypertrophy Legs
Heavy days I do a rep range of about 3-6 on compound movements, hypertrophy will be about 8-10.
I keep my exercises simple but I like to alternate db and bb
Example of push day:
Decline or Flat Bench (DB or BB)
Incline Bench
DB Flyes
OHP
Lat Rasies
CGBP
An overhead tricep extension
Dips
Id also recommend moving t bar row as your primary exercise on pull bLast edited by RedSox1990; 04-04-2014 at 01:43 PM.

really bad routine, stupid amounts of volumen, exercise selection is fuked up and exercise order is fuked up, i have never seen a ppl routine with that much volume. if you r a beginner i would recommend an upper lower split or a fullbody routine
Legs:
-squat 4x6-8
-leg press 3x10-12
-SLDL 3x8-10
front squats are not a bodybuilding exercise unless your quads are really lagging behind, doesnt recruit as many muscle fibers and its only useful for strength/Olympic lifters
if you have recovery ability to do leg extensions and leg curl you need to throw that **** out the window and add more squats.
push a:
standing bb overhead press: 3x6-8
close grip bench: 3x8-10
db incline bench press: 3x8-10 or any fly movement
side raises 3x8-10
pushdowns 3x8-10
push b:
bench press: 3x6-8
db inc bench press 3x8-10
db shoulder press: 3x8-10
side raise: 3x10-12
tricep pushdown: 3x8-10
pull:
Deadlift 3x6-8 none of that sumo ****, thats a powerlifting technique to move more weight, not an exercise to put on mass, plus its not for everyone just people who have a leverage advantage like really long arms
barbell row: 3x8-10
hammer strength pull down: 3x8-10
shrugs: 3x10-12
inc. db curl: 4x8-10
face pull: 2x10-15
and i still think its too much....
sorry if my first comment was a little rude i was editing the routineLast edited by Jorge12app; 04-04-2014 at 08:37 PM.

That exercise split is good and fine to use the amount you are using per week. Exercising 5/6 times a week is perfectly fine. Also you really don't need much variation in your exercises. I would base your reps though on whether you are shedding or bulking (or lean bulking). Keep shredding reps high and bulking reps lower. But yeah, your split is important but this looks fine. As long as you stay clean in the kitchen you'll be seeing results in no time.
