Workout Routine Update
After two weeks of this program, I am becoming a lot more aware of what is working, and more importantly, what is not.

I have taken as much feedback into account as I can, and am going to make the following changes to my weekly routine:

Like the new workout a lot better. I just have two questions. Any reason you do incline bench first? I would say by far the most important lift of the day on chest days is your flat bench so why not start with that and use the incline more as a supplement to the flat and not the other way around?
ReplyDeleteSecondly, do you think your 2nd chest day will suffer because of the arm/shoulder day the day before? This is less concern because you start off the week after 2 days of rest on chest so it shouldn't be a big deal, so thinking about it that sounds pretty good. The rest of the workout looks great.
