Can I just say that this is exactly why it’s best to stick to a program as-is, run it entirely, and then consider modifications.
This thread started “Hey is this program okay or do I need to add lateral raises” and literally overnight flipped to “I’m gonna add laterals and rear delts”. Next step is “Ya know, there’s not really much bi work, so I’m adding one more kind of curl.” And then, “My chest is lagging so I’ll add pec-deck once a week.” Slippery slopes are slippery.
If you want to make your own program, fine. If you want to follow a pre-designed program, fine. But don’t Frankenstein a routine until you’ve given it a legit chance in the first place.[/quote]
I have to disagree in this instance. The program had zero side or rear delt work. Adding them actually shows maturity in that there’s solid understanding of a well-rounded BBing routine and he understands he shouldn’t follow a routine blindly just because someone has their name attached to it and says it should be done as is. It’s not the same thing as adding MORE volume to what’s already there (like bis in your example), it’s simply instating SOME volume where there’s none.
Anyone who cares about looking better naked should have lateral and rear delt work. I’ve been wrong before, but I don’t get the slippery slope vibe from the OP. I think he just added two exercises on the week and plans on sticking to it. Just my impression.
