Hey im new here and I work out with my dad. I just wanted you guys opinion on our workout. We generally work out 4 days a week. all exercises are 3 sets 8-10 reps unless stated otherwise. and the weights get progressively heavier each set Day 1 (chest/triceps) stretches Flat Bench 4 sets (first set is just the bar to warm up) 8-10 reps Inclined Bench Flat or Inclined Fly's (we alternate between flat/inclined) pullovers cable crossovers (palms up, from lower to higher) skullcrushers or seated overhead triceps extensions (we alternate) dips kickbacks triceps pulldowns with the bent bar pulldowns with the rope. Day 2 (back/biceps) stretches warm up with assisted pull up machine (wide arm pullups) lat pulldowns to the front lat pulldowns behind neck seated rows one arm rows hyperextensions straight bar curls preacher curls seated curls or hammer curls concentration curls Day 3 (Legs/shoulders) barbell Squats 4 sets 8-10 reps (first set just the bar to warm up) leg pres leg extensions leg curls seated calf extensions 100 reps per leg broken up into 2 or 3 sets (40,40,20 for example) calf raises.

Way too many exercises for everything except shoulders which seems to have very little. Day 1 Flat Bench Incline Flies Dips Cable Cross Tri Extensions Day 2 Pull/Chin up Deadlift Bent/Seated Row Shrugs Curls Day 3 OH/Arnold Press Front/Lateral Raise Rear Delt Pull Squat Lunge Calf Raise You can also do ab work on day 1, 2 and 3 aswell if you so choose.

Good work Virt. I would just add stiff leg deadlifts and/or hamstring curls to the workout 3, just to get in some direct hamstring stimulus.
