    How does this routine look ?

    Hey guys , what do you think about this routine for intermediates(even advanced novice imo)based on what Jason Blaha said ?
    youtube(dot)com/watch?v=JDyMnMeWC_k (replace "(dot)" with ".")

    A:
    Squat 3x5-8
    Bench Press/Dips 3x5-8
    Chin-ups/Pendlay Row 3x5-8
    * Lateral raises 3x10-15
    *Tricep isolation 3x6-10

    B:
    Front-Squat 3x5-8
    Push press 3x5-8
    Deadlift 1x5-8(Jason Blaha insists on choosing conventional though)
    *Face-pulls 3x10-15
    *Bicep curls 3x6-10

    Progression:Start at 5 reps , add reps when possible until you get to 8 clean form, increase weight by 5%.Again 5 reps , go to 8 , 5% increase etc.As you progress you can drop to 1 or 2 sets per big lift.I know there are plenty of good routines out there already , just wanted to share this one aswell. Any opinions ?

    Wait is the "/" between some lifts an either or type thing? Id just do fierce 5 honestly. Better balance and progression.

    / means "or" . You can either chose BP or dips , chins or pendlay , etc.

    Well then that leaves it up to the person knowing proper directional balancing of the shoulder more so than pull to push ratio. A flat bench + pull ups isnt the best choice, but flat bench + pendlay is. Typically people who are doing full body routines like this (novices) don't know that.

    I agree. I guess this sounds better :

    A:
    Squat 3x5-8
    Bench Press 3x5-8
    Pendlay Row 3x5-8
    Dips 3x5-8
    *Lateral Raises 3x10-15

    B:
    Front-Squat 3x5-8
    Push press 3x5-8
    Deadlift 1x5-8
    Chin-up 3x5-8
    *Face-pulls 3x10-15

    I agree and respect davisj for his routines . I really wanted a deadlift in there and I know I have to swap Front Squat and RDL for it (however I also wanted front squat) I'm not experienced enough to argue about this so I guess "stick with the goddamn routine"
