Chest & Back, Biceps & Triceps, Legs & Shoulders.
Hi guys.
I originally went onto a routine like this after watching a Dorian Yates video. I messed my right shoulder up and have impingement from a few years ago, though it is almost 100% at the moment, the shoulder was the reason I went onto push & pull, it just felt better.
I've been using this routine for 18months and have made good gains in strength and decent gains in size.
My goal is now to get bigger, while maintaining strength.
I want to know what the downsides are of the program I am on, and what I need to do for a "better" plan. I have read through many workouts on here, but I've never had anyone elses opinion on the push/pull before.

Is it not enough? Not enough frequency? Is there anything wrong with the configuration away from the norm of biceps and back, chest and triceps?
Opinions appreciated.
