looks good to me. i dont touch power cleans etc myself, but if you got good technique and know how to do them well i'm sure it's allright. as for traps if you feel they need specific work add to either back or shoulder day. but all in all it looks like a good selection of exercises from what i can tell

I just recently started power cleans, but have been told my technique is almost spot on. So that is why i have decided to make them a stape in my workout, as im trying to incoorporate more compound exercises in my regimen.
With this workout, would I be ill advised to maybe add in some direct forearm training, mine seem to be lagging behind in comparison to the rest of my body, i was thinking of throwing them in on my back and chest days, when im working my biceps and triceps
perhaps doing reverse curls for 4 sts on each day
Also, what kind of cardio would be recommended, maybe doing 15mins on a starclimber
4mins warmup
1 min moderate
30 sec spring kind of intervals?
Id appreciate any feedback, im glad my workout seems to be a good base to build on

There is only 2 things I would change in your routine myself.1st is regarding to chest.I would place the weighted dips earlier in the routine (2nd exercise) & keep the flys for last.Also for your biceps I would get rid of the reverse curls & place preacher bench curls 2nd & do the hammer curls last in my routine for biceps.

bump, anyone else have any good advice on this?

i personally feel presses and flyes were more effective for me buliding chest.
i usually start with a press (incline or flat), do a flye movement to rest my tri's, do another press, than dips.
if you feel dips work your chest more than presses go ahead i dont thikn they do for me
