New routine

[BenT]

I posted my routine below. All exercises are 4 sets of 10. My goal is principally size, but also strength, so I'm focusing on big muscle groups twice a week.

Each day typically takes about 45 minutes, and I do 30-45 minutes of cardio at least 3x per week, but not usually on weights days.

Am I missing anything on here? Does this look good?


Day 1 (full body)
Squat
Bent row
Clean + press
Deadlift
Bench press

Day 2
Shoulder press (behind neck - smith)
Side delts (cable)
Rear delts (dumbbells)
preacher curl
close grip bench
abdominals

Day 3 - Off

Day 4 (full body same as Day 1)

Day 5
Pull ups
Hammer curls
Calves - seated
Calves - sled
Cable chest crossover
abdominals

What's the purpose of the full body workout?

I'm calling the - squat, bent row, clean, dead, bench - day 'full body' - it's really large muscle groups. The goal is to gain overall size.

So I'm splitting large muscle groups (twice a week), with isolation exercises on the other days.

full body twice a week is bad IMO, serparate these groups a little better to stuff that works, push pull maybe try or isolate the groups, full body Im sure will get you to spend a ton of time in the gym with mediocre results...

Take a look at some of the other routine splits that a lot of guys have posted.

Unless the full body workout 2 x a week is sport specific, ditch it and try as clint suggested.

Yeah, not sport specific, just trying something new... back to the drawing board I think.
