Chin ups move to back day mate or cut them from bicep day. Could alternate with pull ups Put squats first in your leg day Deadlifts first on back day too

Yeah, aslong as you go all the way down mate, no half reps. Nice slow and controlled.

why no consistency in reps? Leg ext you are doing 20, squats 8. also, as with deads, put squats first on your leg day and why so much emphasis on your quads? No hamstring isolation yet the quads take a battering

I did have the same reps and sets but my leg extensin can only take a certain weight and its not heavy enough just for say 4x8 i dont feel it so i just up'd the reps. I'll look at geting more work on the hamstrings. What would be a good isolation move for this? Cheers.

Some muscles respond better to high/low reps, so if high rep extensions work, then dont swap it. Just dont over do your workouts with insanely high reps, or very low reps.

I was thinkin of switching to 4x6 as this seems better for heavier weights but i mite see myself doing 5x5 again for a while.

not the journey lol, doing deads and squats same day, especially with the sort of weight you will be using for those reps. Steer clear of stairs post workout for a day or two!
