I have posted this before but this is the revised version after some advice was given plus some rethinking. Chest is one of my lagging bodyparts, I was wondering if what I have on chest day right now is good enough or should I have more volume? Any more advice would be good for this is the last time I'm going to post my routine so I can finally come up with a finalized version. Thanks.

I dont think you should change that at all bro. Looks hella solid.

Not hitting the hamstrings or traps as hard as the other body parts... and no forearm work listed.

The traps are fine if your genetics don't need you to do them hard... I know for me I CANNOT do shrugs or they verpowder everything else, even deadlifts can be risky for me...

 

[SeanHolmz]

Yup, Traps I am genetically gifted so I'm good there. But hams are another story. What do you think I should add to leg day for hams? Maybe do stiff legged deads 5x5 style?

 

[IronLion]

wow...don't do traps? Why would you ignore a "genetically gifted" bodypart...do you think Arnold ignored his chest? Did Tom Platz ignore his legs...does Glen Chabot ignore anything?

I don't ignore them. If you look I do 3 sets of 10 for shrugs. This keeps my traps a good size so they are symmetrical with the rest of my body.

 

[SofaGeorge]

For hams I hit sprints, straight leg deads, and leg curls.

5x5 of SLDL would work great.

 

[NEWcb38ac]

Yeah I NEED to ignore mine... They will overshadown my medial delts if not... Im looking to growout my delts and lts to build in more of a taper to compete once I ge tot a good size (good size is relative)
