1.) What are your goals?

2.) What are your stats: weight, age, experience?

3.) How deep do you squat?

4.) What are your maxes on squats, deadlifts and bench press?

5.) What have you done in the past?

im the bloke from the other post "new routine" with the bung knees.

I weigh 75-80 it varies, im 19 just about 20 and i've been lifting for about 2-3 years seriously. When i say seriously i mean actually making progress n not just going to gym n fucking round, not serious as in im aiming to be a body builder etc..

Im fairly happy with where im at at the moment, im a footy/soccer player and play quite a few other sports so im not aiming to get huge, just to put on a bit more muscle and more strength in my legs, which once again is hard cos of me bung knees etc.
I'm after a new routine because im sick of my old one and feel like a change

and that's 75-80 KG by the way

and as for the squats, deads and bench

Max on bench is about 100kg, bit more

Squats: wouldn't have a clue, it's a struggle to be able to them often with my knees and therefore nothing impressive, legs are a real weak point due to this and not being able to train them intensely during the season.

Deads: As for my max i'm not too sure, I'm doing sets of about 80-90 kgs atm so i would guess about 100+, ive done sets of 100 before but yeah not in a while

IMO ,The best thing for your knees is to squat. Just don't go heavy.

Over a year ago now I messed up my knee , bad, playing baseball. I was on crutches for a month and it took longer than that before I could even bend my knee. The only rehab I did was Leg Presses , Squats and Extensions. Now I'm squatting 500.

It takes time to heal , but you will have strong knees if you squat.

so i revised the original routine to:

Mon - Chest
Tues - Back
Wed - Shoulders
Thurs - legs
Fri - arms

this way i'm not doing chest and shoulders consecutively and the tri's get a rest before shoulders and before smashin em at the end of the week

what you guys reckon?

I think that you should do legs after the back and the shoulders should go in the place of the legs
