would you use this push, pull and legs workout?

[shogun91]

Heyyy, so im getting bored of a split training system and want to change it around for a while. Iv heard good things about push, pull, legs workouts so i come up with this idea.

i will train 1 day on, 1 day off in the order of push, pull, legs. so it will look like this. week 1 - monday, wednesday, friday, sunday. week 2 - tuesday, thursday, saturday. repeat.



push -
Bench press
incline smith press
seated shoulder press
lateral raises
lying tricep extension
(i dont know if this would be over doing it but maybe dips too?)


pull -
wide grip pull ups
bent over row
shrugs
seated incline dumbbell curls
straight bar curls


legs -
squat
jefferson squats
leg press
leg curls
machine calf raises


Im thinking that ill do 4 sets on each exercise, 10, 8, 6, 8. and hitting abdominal's every fourth day.

what does that sound like to you? anyone who has had any experience or has any knowledge of training with a push pull legs routine id be very grateful to get some of your input, if i should switch some exercises or reps or sets or days or what ever, all advice will be taken into account. thanks.

that would work..

just get more creative with your compound lifts to start each day. instead of squats on leg day.. go with deads. or cleans.. you don't have to do squats to start everytime.

Put deads into the back, straight leg deads on the legs. Switch that extentions for dips/closegrip you need to add in some rear delt work

I like to train 5 to 6 days a week on this type of split. Lyle McDonald talks about keeping your system anabolic with this approach.

if you are conditioned and in top shape this strategy works wonders.. but it takes time to build up that conditioning. a newb no matter how hard they work will need to build up that conditioning
