The routine I've been using lately is a push pull routine. Mondays and thursdays push, tuesdays and fridays pull and then squats and deadlifts on the weekend. This is cause my schedule is hectic and some days I cant get into the gym so i want to ensure I hit everything at least once a week. Im dieting down and Im trying to increase my strength while losing fat so Im sticking to alot of basic movements for my push pull routine. Here's my 1st push workout this week:
Bench:
135x10 (warmup)
155x10(warmup)
185x10
225x10
255x6
275x5
295x5
Military Press:
135x10
155x10
185x8
205x8
Dumbell Bench:
70x10
80x8
90x8
100x8
Machine Military Press:
135x12
225x10
245x10
275x10
315x10
Dips:
4setsx12 bodyweight
Assessments?

Looks pretty good. Do you do any direct arm work?
-
Militarys standing or seated?

Is there a difference in terms of shoulder development? I assume the standing will allow someone to utilize their legs and use more weight.

I find I can do more while seated actually. Not sure why that is.

Usually I do 4-8 sets for triceps at the end of push days, and I do 4-8 sets of biceps on pull days. Today I did dips for triceps and 2 sets of tricep extensions I didnt include. I also drop setted my bench, after I did 295x5 I dropped to 225x8 then 135x10.
I did seated military press. I find standing harder as well cause you have to stabilize the weight more while youre standing. Its only easier if you're using alot of body english and pushing with your legs.

Standing always felt a lot harder (in a bad way) on my shoulders. I stopped doing it a while ago.

I do seated DB and standing BB in the same workout. Find it works great!
I quite like that workout. How many days a week would you do that. Once evry 5 or so days?
