Watch out for your shoulders and elbows. Doing entire upper body workout will take a toll on your body. I cant imagine doing push and pull in same workout. My body would break down.

Apart from bench and upright rows that’s the most shoulder I really do. Tri extensions I keep grip fairly close so my elbows are neutral to inward and not outward so I keep pressure off elbows. Hammer curls my arms are tucked in tight. Using straps for bent over rows has really helped me stay in better alignment overall. I have tried to schedule all my lifts in order so that I tire out the larger muscle groups first and sort of whittle them down in order of largest to smallest.

Thanks man, one thing that messes with me and maybe it’s psychological is having to lift at different times. Normally I’m lifting by 11am past two weeks been working out between 3-5pm, legs I am not phased but chest I perceive as feeling not quite as strong.
Also as I go heavier on chest I’m still trying to slowly lower the bar all the way down to the nipple line, while I can do this fairly well it’s my weakest phase of the press but my push is stronger. What can I work on to improve my eccentric, keep hitting tri’s hard to develop more stability? I have noticed as my tris get stronger my bench feels better.

Thank you for your feedback.

Hitting tris will help your bench more than anything. I love dips and close grip bench for tris.

Personally this is the schedule I thknk works best for all lifters. My wife and are both lifting at elite levels and are recovering nicely.

Legs
Chest/Tri’s
Back/Traps/Rear Delts
Delts/Tri’s

Each training day gets worked every 7-8 days. Lift 3 days per week on average. We train 2 on 2 off and sometimes take an extra day off because of my wifes rotating work schedule. We train for maximum recovery as we train hi intensity Dorian Yates style. We are both in our 50’s and by far the strongest people in the gym even stronger than the IFBB pros who train there. Every week people come up to us and ask how we can look so good and they are shocked when we tell them we are in our mid 50’s.

Dips are fun but I have found a new appreciation for laying tricep extensions on a curl bar. I start at 90 degrees then lower arms back down and before I do a rep I pull arms back 10 or so degrees then from there I drive up all the way then I reset and lower arms back again another 10 degrees. I saw Cavaleri, Dr Mike, John Meadows all doing this and the result is better rom, less joint trauma and bigger triceps. John Meadows is a freak, those triceps are crazy big.

Skull crushers basically. Yes those are good too.

So legs once per day and your totally crushing it, that’s like Platt style corect?

It sounds really good but I’m Leary to change anything midway in this cycle. Would definitely entertain this during my cruise / recovery and consider building this into a future cycle. If I lifted max effort once per week on chest and legs I’d probably get even more growth.
I’m keeping this in my notes for future use, thank you so much.

Yes everything trained once per week. If we have a couple days off after back day then we do 4 sets of bi’s on that day and then again 3 days later on Delt/Tri’s. We always pay attention to how the body feels so we don’t overdo it. Recovery is most critical.

Good leg session, however changing the time I lift seems to impact how I feel after for some reason, hopefully I can get my early lifting time back on track.

I do those alot and they definitely help.

I’m liking trim extensions off the bench heavy then cable push downs on hypertrophics. I’m about to start pushing the weight heavier on these, trying to progress weekly.
