RDL heavy (to top of knees, Keystone style) 5x3
Power runner 5x10-15
Hanging knee raise 5x12, superset with cable abs 5x40
Prowler push very heavy (315-405 lbs) 5-10 trips

Bench 531
DB Row 5x5
Close Grip Incline 5x5
Chest Supported Row: 5x12
Ab Wheel 3x8-10
Sled Drags: ten trips

Deadlift 531
Rackpulls 5x3 below knee
Reverse hypers 5x12 superset with GHR situps 5x12
Prowler push light, 1 plate each side, ten trips.

Military 531
superset with pullups various grips
Dips 5x10-12

You answered your own question with this statement. If you are making good progress, it is a good routine.

I think he was asking if it seemed balanced/ how the volume was… But yes, if it works well and nothing is neglected why fix what isn’t broken?

Yeah exactly man. I am doing well as of now, but I’m getting some mild tendonitis in the elbows (I’m also a drummer in a metal band, which can take a toll on you).

Do you guys think I would benefit from cutting back on some of the volume?

Hammer curls help my elbows immensely. Also throw in some rear delt raises. One of the most important things you can do for shoulder health IMO.

EDIT: Very light chest flyes after benching also help me stay healthy.

^Thats a good idea, I should probably do more curls, and prehab stuff. Thanks for the advice.
