New routine needs critique - 28 September 2009 21:35
Hi guys,

Just going to start a new routine after cutting (Ramadan) for 5 weeks. My aim is to bulk up as i lost quite a bit of weight whilst fasting. I'll be taking mass attack to gain my muscle mass which I lost during Ramadan.

All excercises will be done as 3 sets of 8 reps unless stated otherwise. Can you recommend any excercises for biceps and any other's which are more suited for my routine.

Monday Legs & Shoulders
Squats
Straight Leg Deadlifts
Barbell Shoulder Press
Dumbell SHoulder Military Press

Wednesday Chest & Biceps
Bench Press
Incline Dumbell Press
Bicep Barbell Curls
Another bicep excercise required?

Friday
Deadlifts
Barbell Rows
Close Grip Bench Press
Tricep Skulls

Thanks in advance guys

Squat - 110KG(1RM)
Deads - 140KG (3RM)

Not enough compound movements in my opinion, only got two exercises for back and chest and you want to do two exercises for biceps and triceps which are small in comparison. Id also add some more leg work.

As above, add in more for back and chest, and legs too possibly (i dont do a lot for legs, mainly because i do so much running and they cant take it) but still is good to get a balance between everything.

Any excercises you can recommend for the legs and chest? For chest, I really want to get my chest wider and deeper in size so anything which will start me off will be great help?

Could try dips(leaning forward) and flyes for chest and maybe hack squats , front squats and lunges foir legs. Theres soo many different exercises to choose from , my advice is give them all a try and see what works best.
