Wow I am really liking that new routine! I would seriously do it if I didn't have my own lol! I am especially loving the 1 handed deadlifts, grip work, and weighted pullups. To be honest and I wasn't going to say anything but I think you should definitely get those weighted pullups up, with your other strength feats I think you should be doing like 90x3 or more on those. BTW, em I am loving your sig pic! I had to clikc on it before when I wasn't platinum but now jesse01 gave me a 7 day plat so I can see it full!
Also 1 handed pushupsd are a great idea, I just added those into my routien alos.

Thanks broski, its like the best routine ive ever come up with lol. Its like a push/pull but not really. What can I do for grip work if i dont have those hand crush grip things? I definetly want to get my pullups up, like you said i should be stronger in them. HOw come im not? cuz i never do them lol go figure

1 handed pushups seem like they would be a great addition, if i can do 5 right now, think about if i can do 20 with a 25lb plate on my back.

Aparrently a 1 handed pushup is like doing .96 percent of your bodyweight for 1 rep on bench, but since you have to use all those core muscles it is much harder. For grip work you could try farmers walks, static grip holds, static hangs, high rep shrugs (bb), etc. I need to get more grip work in my routine also, my grip used to be better.

I think especially if you can do alot of reps then bodyweight pullups are awesome for forearms and grip. So are DB Rows. Direct grip work would be what tblock mensioned. Try some towel pullups, towel farmers walks or thick grip stuff.

tblock what did my sig look like when you wernt platinum?

It justs says the url for the pic, ie it was like "http://i41.tinypic.com/2rz98gk.jpg" and thats it. Yeah towel grip pullups are awesome I have only done them a couple times but they are great. I just need to remember to do grip work and bodyweight exercises, because i don't have them scheduled into my routine so I always forget to do them Again, loving your new routine glad

Thanks broski! Cant fuckin wait. IM so sore from yesterday!

I changed some things in my routine. Im finally learning that I need to do things im not used to. I used to go heavy with EVERYTHING, but I dont need to. Im gonna do a little higher reps, and use flawless form because i dont care about the weight except for

bench
squat
deads
bb military

those are the only lifts I will do heavy, fast but controlled. The other lifts I will superset, concentrate on the negatives, and use textbook form. I cant wait! I love my routine too

 

[ExtraMile]

you gonna do military to the front or BTN?

Bro I know I am asking a lot but would you mind videoing up your btn form cause I am trying to do those 2 but I am not flexible enough. You might want to try doing some in front military presses at least every once in a while.

 

[the.gladiator1987]

Oh dude IM gonna be doing push press in front instead of db front raises. So those will be in front, im also doing db military and ill probably do those 1 handed and standing.

No problem ill video it up on thursday when I hit shoulders. ANy other lifts you wanna see? Im actually gonna be recording all my workouts from now

 

[ExtraMile]

I wanna see your form while curling 135

I love btn presses Ill prob go back to them some time...
