Need help with a new routine

[Nakor]

Well as i said before it's not bad, and some of the following might just be a matter of preference so take it with a grain of salt.

Here was your post:::




here is what i do each day

chest day:

FB BB
Incline DB
Weight Dips
Decline DB
sometimes flys

not really necessary to have decline DB imo. Flat BB, Incline DB, and Weighted Dips will give you a bigger chest. Period. What rep ranges are you doing?


legs day:

squats
leg press
leg curl
calves

again, i think this depends on rep range. If you're doing 2 sets of squats there is no way that's enough, but if you're hammering squats with 5-6 sets it probably suffices. I would personally switch leg curls/leg press and maybe consider adding pullthroughs or GHRs.

back/bi day:
deadlift
pull ups
chins
let pull down
preachers
seated db curls

Get rid of lat pulldown and add DB/BB Rows. You won't regret it

shoulder/tri day
overhead
seated db
skull crushers
cg bench
tri pushdowns

Maybe add some trap work in here? This day will hit your chest pretty hard too between OHP, seated DB, and CGBP... You're hitting your chest way harder than you're hitting any other body part in this routine which isn't necessary. Maybe consider looking @ the training vault for some routines? Again, a lot of the above comments are relative to your rep range. Also, what do you mean by you want to lift to get better at lifting? If you want to bring up your big lifts, focusing on accessory movements for your weak points would be optimal.

Thanks, especially for the last paragraph. I didn't realize how hard I was hitting chest on my shoulder/tricep day. I think I might cut out cghp. Anyone have any suggestions for good shoulder/tri work without hitting my chest so hard?

I would personally switch your routine to maybe shoulders/chest/tris, or do shoulders with legs and chest with tris.. if you want to leave it how you have it now, make sure you give your body some rest between chest and shoulders/tris, so have back/bis or legs in between them. Some direct work you can do for shoulders is front/lat raises, bent over laterals, upright rows (this can be hard on your rotator cuffs though).... and maybe some shrugs if you want.
