Just out of curiosity, how do you track your progress when your rep ranges change so often?

your exercise selection is pretty good.
i assume that your goal is building muscle.its a solid routine.stick with it.eat tons of quality food.sleep more.
stay strong!

Doesn’t look too bad…but the only real way to tell is if it works for you.

All I do to keep track of my progress is just do a week before my new routine doing mon/wed/fri fullbody with sets/reps of 3x5, 3, 1. Then I do this after my new routine.

Thanks for the compliment on the routine!

Dude!

I’m no expert…but I notice you only have one exercise that hits the tri’s directly (dips)…and yet for bi’s you’ve got 'em setup for Mon/Fri…

I know bi’s are the show muscles (that even I’m guilty of loving to work)…but those tri’s need some lovin too!

Where would you suggest I insert tri work?

I don’t like it that much. It’s whatever works but I’m more into more simple routines, I guess.

id suggest you do two week rotations first week like you have set up then second week two dead days one squat day
edit: why dont you use variations on workout 2?
