Chest shoulder and tri routine

New member
Listen up, i need a chest shoulder and tri routine that works.
My view would be something like this

Chest
bench 4 sets of 6-8
Decline 4 sets of 6-8
inclined dips 4 sets of 6-8

Shoulders
standing smith machine military press 4 sets of 8
Behind the neck press 4 sets of 8
Db shoulder press 4 sets of 8

Tris
Behind the neck press (two hand) 2 sets of 6-8
Cable tri press 2 sets of 6
v bar skull crusher 2 sets of 6

ideas/ ? too much? Please mess around with it as you please
 
dunno if you're on gear, or just have genetics that allow you to withstand that much, but I would probably flame out about halfway through that.

I like routines that have a lot less volume and are almost all compound. An example of a chest/shoulder/tri day for me would be something like this:

dumbbell bench 3 sets
overhead press 3 sets
incline barbell 3 sets
close grip bench 3 sets
dips 2 sets to failure
lat raises 3 sets
skullcrushers 2 sets
 
No real problem with volume, but what are incline dips?

Personally, i think behind the neck for shoulders is dangerous. Why not replace with shrugs.

For triceps, i do close grip bench. Great size builder
 
I don't train chest-delts-tris on one day, but if i was to do it it would probably revolve round some combined sets, doing one compound exercise , 15-20 seconds rest, immediately followed by other, usually more isolating exercise.... 2 minutes rest between combined sets

Chest

2 * 8 medium incline dumbell press - medium incline flyes
2 * 8 low incline dumbell press - low incline flyes
2 * 8 dips or decline bench/machine press - cable cross or pec-deck flyes


Delts
2 * 8 millitary press - behind neck press
2 * 8 arnold press - dumbell press
2 * 8 one-arm dumbell side raises - one arm cable raises or one-arm dumbell side raises on incline bench
3 * 8 bent over dumbell raises - barbell row (this also targets the rear delt in a rough way)

Tris
2 * 8 weigted dip - JM Press
2 * 8 skull crusher - cable pushdown
2 * 8 reverse grip pushdown - slow dip between benches

No overhead work for triceps, lying french presses work the long head better, more torso stabillity and more weight to be pushed...
 
First of all, good to see you back BD!!:D

Here's what I do, not too much different from yours:

DB flat bench: 1 warmup, 3 heavy sets, 10,8,6
Incline bar: 3 heavies 10,8,6
Cable flies: 2-3 moderate sets, 12,10,8

Reverse grip skulls: 1 warmup, 3 heavies 10,8,6
DB behind neck ext: 3 heavies 10,8,6
Dips: 2 sets

DB mil press: 1 warmup: 3 heavies 10,8,6
leaning lat raise: warmup with light regular lat raises, 3 heavies 10,8,6
Shrugs: 3 heavies, 10,8,6
 
I use to train those all together but have changed to one major muscle or two minor like arms a day but if I was on AS I would go back. Your volume is great and all the advice in the world probably won't help as much as you just seeing what works for you.
