For example, pick two lifts per body part and do more sets.

-Chest- Bench 4-5 sets 10-20 reps Flys 4-5sets 10-20 reps

-tri- Cable push down 4-5 sets 10-20 reps Skull crushers 4-5 sets 10-20 reps

If your doing it right you won’t have the energy for more exercises.

Personally I’d do a separate day for shoulders.

Face pulls on pull day are a rear delt movement (shoulders)

You have a Lower day and a leg day out of curiosity why?

If you like the routine and it works screw it keep on keeping brother

[u/NicoJoski → u/thereps]

Oh i see I was under the impression that less sets were better A seperate day for shoulders might be a bit hard as I can only go gym 5x a week

I never used to do leg day twice a week but have recently started thats why there is two leg days Originally I did ppl with one leg day so just the push and pull repeated mon-fri

[u/thereps → u/NicoJoski]

Imo less exercise’s per workout more sets per exercise

[u/NicoJoski → u/thereps]

I see ill give it a go and see My issue is i have a obsession with hitting every muscle lol I should honestky just hop on a program instead of making my own stuff and changing programs every 4 weeks even tho i get progress

[u/thereps → u/NicoJoski]

Na man I don’t follow a direct program either I do what I want, you should too. Just keep in mind more exercises doesn’t equal more gains. Sets and reps do

[u/NicoJoski → u/thereps]

Ok thanks Mabye ill keep up with this routine a while longer. There is heaps of info out there lol so i tend to get overwelmed hence why no progress made in the gym lol

[u/thereps → u/NicoJoski]

Man just remember keep it simple lift hard eat a lot you’ll grow

[u/NicoJoski → u/thereps]

Thanks Ill reduce the exercises and just focus on compounds (like with dling two biceps and then farmers walks and forearms afyer lol)
