for sure. I would never do that many exercises. Some high volume guys might but personally i would cut down on the exercises: 3 or 4 for legs and back, 3 for chest, 2 for shoulders, 2 for arms, calves hit once every 5 days alternate between standing or donkey calves and seated calves each workout, same for abs alternate between weighted decline situps and hanging leg raises

everyone is differant though maybe high volume will work for you

why not do push/pull/legs or upper/lower/upper/lower ? you could probably recover better doing that...

To be extremely frank; It sucks. Your body is half lower, half upper. 3 days upper 1 day lower sucks horribly. Don't try to synthesize your own routine until your intricately know your body. Until that point, look up a standard routine and use it.

Even if you don't care about your lower body look wise or strength wise, you produce testosterone from working out any muscle. You get a significant testosterone increase from squating/cleaning/deadlifting. Use them.

Njl52, I'm just looking to switch it up.

If you look at my 3 months progress recently, I'd say I been doing something right. Before and after photos say it all. Now I just need to dial it in more.

Btw - been doing squats and cut out deadlifts because I screwed my back up.

I only do 365lbs on my last set of 8 ass to grass. I'm legs are way bigger then my upperbody.
