Thoughts about my workout

[SaulGuzman]

Would you add, drop or change anything? (Not DL, I know, I hate it).

I'm using variations of pushups for triceps to add more bulk to the chest and because I felt like the isolated triceps work just taxes my elbow without bringing significant gains that BP, dips, and pushups weren't bringing yet to the table.

Upper A
BP 3 x 6-10
Inverted Row 3 x AMRAP
DB OHP 3 x 6-12
Face Pull 3 x 8-12
Ring Pushups 3 x AMRAP + DB Curl 3 x 8-12

Lower A
SQ 3 x 6-10
Ring Pullups 3 x AMRAP
Split SQ 3 x 10-15
Leg Curl 3 x 10-15
Calf Raises 3 x 15-20 + Abs work

Upper B
BP 3 x 6-10
Cable Row 3 x 8-12
Dips 3 x AMRAP
Reverse Flies 3 x 12-15
Diamond Pushups 3 x AMRAP + Hammer Curl 3 x 6-10

Lower B
SQ 3 x 6-10
Ring Pullups 3 x AMRAP
Goblet SQ 3 x AMRAP
Leg Curl 3 x 10-15
Calf Raises 3 x 15-20 + Abs work

One change is to add a hinge movement. I would do RDLs instead of traditional deadlifts. Cable pull-throughs or even kettlebell swings could be alternatives.

Not sure why you have pull ups on lower day. That's where I would swap in the hinge. Do pull ups on upper days.

Add upright DB rows, and shrugs.

^ this

If you don't like RDL you could do any other hinge or hamstring/glute dominant movement to try to balance it out.

I prefer 45 degree rounded back extensions to focus on the hamstrings & glutes

Looks pretty push heavy from a compound upper & lower perspective, which is fine if that's what you want to do.

Thanks to all!

Not sure why you have pull ups on lower day.

Just to split compounds and maintain better performance in each of them.

Good point. I thought SQ and variations would compensate, but I should definitely go for a hinge exercise and move pullups to upper days.

Yup. I don't like DL, swings and good mornings in general (RDL, sumo DL and SLDL includes).

Back extensions sounds good to me, I'll add them! For hamstrings I'm doing leg curls. Should I add hip thrust for glutes? Idk if pull through (or another exercise) would work instead of HP because I have never done pull throughs.

Add upright DB rows, and shrugs.

Do you think it's worth it even if I don't want to develop my traps and forearms a lot?

I'm sorry. English is not my mother tongue and I misunderstood your comment. What do you mean?

Just one major hamstring or glute compound movement per lower day + leg curl would be fine.

There's no need to do more than that, just find what works best for you.

If you find you prefer hip thrust or heavy pull throughs, instead of RDL or back extension, go for it

[paulinkansas]

It would not be worth it because it does not fit within your parameters. For me, it's like not learning to tap dance or do ballet. It does not fit within my parameters.

[SaulGuzman]

Taking into account all your advice, I made the corresponding changes. Now does it look good or is there something else to change?

Upper A:
BP 3 x 6-10
Ring Pullups 3 x AMRAP
DB OHP 3 x 6-12
Inverted Row 3 x AMRAP
Hammer Curl 3 x 6-10 + Reverse Flies 3 x 12-15

Lower A:
SQ 3 x 6-10
Back Extensions
Split SQ 3 x 10-15
Leg Curl 3 x 10-15
Calf Raises 3 x 15-20 + Abs Work

Upper B:
BP 3 x 6-10
Ring Pullups 3 x AMRAP
Dips 3 x AMRAP
Cable Row 3 x 8-12
Pushups 3 x AMRAP + Face Pull 3 x 8-12

Lower B:
SQ 3 x 6-10
Pull through OR Hip thrust
Goblet SQ 3 x AMRAP
Leg Curl 3 x 10-15
Calf Raises 3 x 15-20 + Abs work

Looks pretty solid to me. I'd run it and see how it goes. It's smilar to routines I've successfully run in the past couple years.

I did find that ring push ups gave me shoulder issues and ring pull ups gave me elbow issues, but plenty of people do them just fine. Everyone is different and the key with doing your own programming is to pay close attention to what's working and what isn't. DOMS is to be expected but joint and tendon issues are red flags. Pushing through will only make it worse. Making simple changes can alleviate them entirely.

[SaulGuzman]

Fine. I'll run it and come back in a couple of months to share my experience. Thanks a lot!

Just one more thing. For OHP I usually do seated dumbbell press with bench at 75º or Smith Press at 60º. From your experience, which do you consider to be the best options for OHP?

Personal preference

Good luck brother

For OHP, I always prefer standing, but 75 is going to involve less upper pec than 60. Just depends on your goals.
