Sounds great! I would do Dips instead of DB press. They are harder. Think about it. I dip with say 100lbs for 6, that would be 315 for reps because I weigh 215lbs. Can I bench 315lbs for reps? Not really. Or even do DB Press with what 80s thats only 160lbs.So with Dips there is a more of an overload. Same as chins. Do those instead. | ||

You training split looks pretty good. I have a few suggestions. I recommend putting another good productive exercise like Stiff-Legged Deadlifts. I believe that Deadlifts and Squats are probably the most productive exercises. I also recommend Parallel Bar Dips. Take each set to failure. 1 works set is all you really need. But in a few weeks, if you feel that just one set is not working for you move up a set or two. Do no more than 3 sets per body part. Take each set to failure. This is what I do if I were doing 3 sets. The first set would be taken to failure. The second would be taken to failure, but my training partner or spotter would help me push out 2-4 forced reps. And on my last set, I would have him assist me in 2-4 forced reps and then I would have him assist me in 3-4 negative reps. Only do these techniques on the bench press, pulldowns and rows. If you're doing squats and deadlifts, just take them to failure. But always use a spotter. If you have any more questions let me know. Here's another good split to try, if you're interested. Squat 1-2 x 12-20 ------------------ | ||

thanks you guys, i really like the idea of the dips and chins but the thing is im 410 lbs. so those are out the question,but are there other exercise like those i guess that you think i can do? also for next 8 weeks i really want to concentrat on the big muscle groups,(legs,back,chest,etc.) so the deasdlifts i might put in there but i do them in the sumo fashion, thats ok right? | ||
