Looks like shit.

what woudl be a better alternative?

[jwb]

Change the leg press to a Romanian deadlift.

[rooseveltdunn]

None of this matters when you lift such girly poundages, noob.

See ya later, boy.

this isn't my routine. What would you consider a better 3 day push pull routine?

Actually looks pretty solid to me. Not a huge fan of 8 reps and below sets but depends what your goals are. Factor in warm up sets. For me this type of 3 days on 1 days off routine really worked out.

Hope you achieve your goals.

Good routine to build a solid foundation. When u plateau you need to increase the reps.

increase reps as in 10-12?what about weight,do you need to lower it?

[DroppingPlates]

Include reverse dips and upright blows and it's near perfect.

[tommywishbone]

OK. Looks like a solid foundation.

As a former competetive and winning powerlifter, I like the Rack pulls. I would do regular squats instead of front squats. I think conventional squats are just a much better size and power movement than front squats. A little more overall volume for legs wouldn't be a bad idea.

On your deads, I would quickly guess that pulling conventional (because of your height) would be best. Very few guys would alternate between sumo and conventional. Don't be afraid to throw in some shrugs too, after your rack pulls. Use straps, go heavy, but stay strict.

Last thing:  When it comes to bodybuilding, other people can not tell you what works for you. Train smart, if something works for you, keep doing it. If your progress stalls, change things around. Weider called it "Instinctive Training." I know he probably didn't think that name up by himself but. . .

Yes 10-12 works well for most. Keep the wt as heavy as possible, u may have to drop it some. You should be stronger after doing the lower reps for a while.

[rooseveltdunn]

Filling out my arms is a bit tough because I have a long wing span for my height and although they are considered big somewhat they don't fill out nicely like the ones that some guys on here have. Hopefully I can improve them.

What are you goals? Training history? Need more info before anyone can really give you advice.

A good basic routine. But you may want to place the  leg work between the pull and push days, allowing a better rest period for upper body work.

Are days 1, 2 & 3 based on a 7 day a week mon, weds & fri workout plan? Or are you doing  the workouts (pull..legs....push) three days in a row? Most guy find that the mon/wed/fri plan give excellent results.

And as tommywishbone said, others can't tell you what's the best this or that. Have to find that out for yourself. Need a good 2 to 3 weeks to work into any new style program. If the program doesn't seem to be taking you to where your want to be (size/strength) after the breaking in period, than may want to advance to another plan. Some thrive on 4-6 reps, some on 8-12 reps, depends on your body's ability to adap and changet. 20 reps will do for you what  reps won't and vice versa.  Good Luck
