yo - this is from my journal...its not getting any attention and i need a little advice, and perhaps others can get some info too...
Tuesday 13th April
Back
Had to wait 30 minutes to do deadlifts, only like to do this exercise first because it knocks the wind out of me - never seen my gym so busy, considering i go offpeak times too (usually 2pm-5pm) anyway enough blubbering on...
changed sets to 5x5 to see how i got on...
Deadlifts
45kg - 4
40kg - 5
35kg - 5
35kg - 5
30kg - 8 to failure
Pull up Bar WG
no assist - 5 but messy lol
assist 16kg - 5
assist 16kg - 5
assist 16kg - 5
assist 16kg - 5
DB over bench rows
16kg - 5
17kg - 5
19kg - 5
19kg - 5
16kg - 5
Lateral Raises
11kg - 5
11kg - 5
10kg - 5
9kg - 5
11kg - 5
Seated Shoulder Press
16kg - 5
18kg - 5
19kg - 5
18kg - 5
18kg - 5
really tough workout, altough felt on occaisions that i could of banged out a few more reps on should presses and rows, maybe i should up my weight or go to failure on final sets? going to throw my workout around again - putting leg day in the middle of my split to give my upper body a chance to get a good few days rest... so
Day 1
Back & Biceps
Day 2
Cardio HIIT
Day 3
Legs and Core
Day 4
Restings
Day 5
Chest & Triceps
Day 6 & 7
Restings
are shoulders good to workout on back day or should it be an issolated excersize...?
cheers all

YO!!! Freaktoid...
M8 can you post up your full routine & stats (ie age, height & weight)?
Also your goal's for the future or what you wish ta achieve with training?
Looks like a sh17 load of training for a 5x5 routine.. Maybe better suited to a 3x8 or something similar.Give us a bit more info & we'll try to give you some pointers..

I would keep the weights then same rather than have them gonig up and down within each workout.
ie: press 15kg x 5 sets. If you can complete this move the weights up the necxt session.
Not reallly sure what your exact question is though.

this is just typical me making things sound more complicated that they need to be.
is my back/bicep routine sufficient enough to hit the shoulders or should i allocate a session for them?

Freaktoid... This look's a half decent routine. Just needs a couple of tweaks. I guess you like these exercise's so i'll try to leave as many as possible in.. From the look of your pictures you have a very good starting point..The key is nutrition rest & then the training. Make sure to check out the nutrition section
Day One
Legs
4 x 8 Squats
3 x 8 Stiffed Leg DL's
3 x 15-20 Calf Raises
1x 20 Sissy squats
Day Two Rest
(light cardio session possibly)abs
Cardio at least 15mins
3 x 10 Leg Raises (pull up bar)
3 x 10 weighed crunches... Would change these to normal crunches.. But when you crunch kinda suck your belly in as if your trying to get your abs to touch your spine and hold for a second then down.
Day Three
chest & shouldes tri's
4 x 8 Flat Bench Press BB(last to failure)
2 x 8 incline db press
DROP flat fly (last to failure)
3 x 8 military shoulder press
3 x 8 dips
Day Four
going to be a thursday (down pub after work...its resting i suppose)GUINESS GUINESS & more GUINESS
Day Five
Back Biceps..
4 x 8 Deadlights (last to failure)
5 x 5 Chin/Pull ups (close grip)
3 x 8 db Rows
DROP Lateral Raises (last to failure) Shoulder exercise
2 x 8 db curls or a pump/flushing exercise ie 21's, pyramid or similar.
If you go as heavy as you can with chins & rows you should'nt really need any if alot more bi work..
Sat/Sun
(light cardio session possibly)abs

21's
Pick a light - med weight for a barbell curl.
Your starting position (standing) with the bar at thigh high. Raise bar to waist then down x7,
then curl from waist to shoulders back to waist x7
then a full range rep from thigh to shoulder curl x7
Same weight all the way through none stop... Not a great builder but good for pumping and flushing the biceps...
Pyramid
Best used with a weight stack with lower pully... Full range bicep curls
1plate x10
2plates x8
3plates x6
4plates x4
5plates x2
then back down again
4plates x4
3plates x6
2plates x8
1plate x10
So basiclly your working your way up then back down the weight stack
Neither of these are great builders and i would definatley concerntrate on close grip chins & rows for bicep work.

lyoooo! this looks good i might do the 21's occasionally!! i totally agree with you on the rows/pull ups my arms feel as if they have done enough afterwards(especially wide grip - they kill)...i'll let you know how i get on in a month or so! im having a week off the gym this week as i had a fairly bad illness since friday...so making sure my body makes a full recovery so no updates in the journal for now.
thanks for your help

Next time your doing back try close grip with your palm's facing towards you... Hits the bi's a bit more.. The spread across the back isn't so good but your lats will still get a good going over ... Mix them up and see how it feels... Its all about experimenting and finding out what works for you.
