i dont like it at all. im not going to go into detail about it, ill just say you should pick one of the many great progrmas here at t-mag.

You’re going to get slammed for stealing that routine from someone’s mom. I’d suggest you dump it and replace with a routine outlined in a t-mag article. Try Christian T, or Chad W to start.

Deadlift and Squat are the 2 main lifts in bb. So you could put Deadlift as 1st exercise on monday, Squat as 1st exercise on friday or viceversa. If you want to train chest, the 1st lift should be barbell bench press. What else ? Too many machines and isolation exercises of no use. Pick one of the many excellent Tmag workouts by Thibadeau, King, Waterbury, Davies, Defranco etc.

You can’t possibly mean to do biceps before back?! Surely you’ll be too tired to shift any decent poundages in the big back movements with fatigued arms…

Give AHBB a go - excellent programme!
