I copied this from simply shredded and i am going to switch around a few exercises to what i like
replacing leg curls with RDLS
replacing cable reverse curls with EZ bar reverse curls
replacing rack deadlifts with bent over rows
replacing tricep extension with incline close grip
replacing smith machine with normal incline
replacing hammer strength with dumbbell press
thoughts on this routine?
GOAL is to lose fat and build muscle and strength in these higher rep ranges while natty
