I know swanso5 will reply saying he doesn't like shoulder days but I do so my 2 cents on that would be get rid of the upright rows, and replace it with cleans. You probably are also overtraining by doing 6 days a week. You need to incorporate deadlifts, squats, and some lunges in there as well.
One other thing, get rid of the cable pulldown behind neck, dangerous and useless.
Doing 3 exercises per muscle group would be just fine, mix them up so your body doesn't adapt.
I know I jumped around a bit, but hope that helps. |

spot on twitchy...shoulder days are not good for shoulder health...providing he's doing 3 sets per exercise let me break this down:
total sets involving the shoulder girdle: 66 totals sets a week
internal rotaion - 56
external rotation - 6
other - 4
for shoulder health this is terrible...at the very least external rotation should equal internal rotation sets and reps...it's alright to have shoulder days but you couldn't have a chest day at the same time unless having two back days which doesn't leave a lot of time for anything else and you've got to do those curls, right???
anyway here's my comments:
Monday: do legs first
Shoulders...Shrugs(no), Dumbell Press, Trap Cable Uright Rows (no), Dumbell Front Raises (no), Side Raises (no)
Legs...Swat, leg Ext (no), leg Curl (only if you have to)
Tuesday:
Chest...Press, Fly (no), Dumbell Press (already doing the same thing first so no), Incline Press
Tricep....Cable push down (no), Reverse Cable push down (no), Overhead Ext. Single arm dumbell ext(no).
Wednesday:
Back...Cable Pulldown behind neck (no do front version as suggested), Sitting Row, Single Row Dumbell Row
Bicep: Preacher (no), Striaght Bar (no), Reverse EZ Bar, Standing Dumbell
again too much...
there's a post in the strength training section where someone asked for the best exercises per muscle which i responded to so try that for exercise replacements |
