BREHS, COME IN AND CRITIQUE MY NEW UPPER/LOWER SPLIT

[YouMadd?]

Okay I am switching up my routine, for one, I need a more challenging workout. Second reason is, I feel more built and pumped up when I work my entire upper body/lower body. That post gym pump always feels better when the entire half of your body is popping as opposed to just your back/biceps or tris/back...


Upper
Pullups
Incline Bench
Incline Fly
Row movement
Dips
Bi/Tri


Lower
Deadlifts/Rack-Pulls
Front Squat or Circuit dumbbell Leg movements
Leg Ext/Ham Curls
Calf Work
Shoulder/Deltoid/rotator movments
Wrist

Just did my upper workout today and i'm feeling good brehs

Not using Layne Norton's phat because I like to create my own workouts

For example on my leg days, if I don't do front squats, I have a lot of variations of circuits leg workouts that I do...

His workouts just aren't "exciting" to me... Whereas I know if I do something like

Barbell jump squat with 135lbs 15 reps and then immediately move into 20 lunges while holding 45 pound dumbbels and then into bulgarian squats, Box jumps with a 45lb weight vest etc. with no breaks I will challenge myself more and it gets my metabolism moving as well as improves my athleticism...

That Layne Norton PHAT stuff is good for bodybuilding I guess, but I am more about improving myself athletically along with the muscle endurance and strength

You can modify phat breh as long as the concepts are the same..hypertrophy and power. Layne does hiit all the time

Looks good brah. I use the westside 4 skinny b*stards upper/lower template with some changes, probably the most fun in the gym I've had in a long time.

I have been on a similar routine for about a month now, but w/more volume. 3 push, 3 pull, 2 shoulder exercises 3 days a week, 1 leg day. 1 of the 3 days I do hyper compounds, 1 day I do accessory work, 1 day I do power compounds. Leg day is all hyper compounds and accessories, pretty much. That full body pump I think this one's a keeper.

Looks more like an "upper / lower + upper" workout.

But this is similar to lyle's generic bulk routine and how I bulked last year.
