Okay...looks like you have a Lower Body Quad day...upper body Push (chest, shouders, tri) day, Lower body Hip day (gluts, hams, low back)...everything looks great up unitl this point...

And than you have another upper body prioritizing chest and some arm curls and pullups thrown in there...

Do you see which muscles you are prioritizing in voluem? Your chest and shoulder work out weights your Vertical and Horizontal Pulling work (Lats and Rows) and too much emphasis on biceps...

The first thing i would do is tweak your Saturday workout and turn it into a Pulling day (Lats, Rows, Bi's) with no pushing movements ( you already do them on Monday)

So instead of Bench press...do bent over rows
Instead of incline press...do 1 arm rows
Instead of shoulder press...do lat pulldown or pullups
Instead of dips...do incline bicep curls
Instead of pressdowns...do preacher curls
Instead of pushups...do chin ups

Now you have just eliminated the potential for rounded shoulders, poor posture and a weak trunck!

Were you aware of this flaw in your program?

I would do this only if you switch Wed. and Fri. workouts. Only reason is you would be doing back two days in a row and most likely burn out on Sat.

i was very unaware of that flaw in my program...and I cannot change my wed and friday workouts because they are a part of a set routine i have to do with my hockey team. I really do not want to get TOO big, which i guess is knid of odd in some peoples' opinions but i want to be cut. I guess though that i have to have muscle to be able to "show it' i guess. The muscle's i really want to get really well are abs, chest, and bi's. I know this sounds like im a complete idiot who basically wants a cover model's body. But i guess to be honest I want toget as close to that as possible. From my stats above. I'd like to get my waist to around 31in. Chest to like 40in. Bi's to maybe 14 or 15in. Any suggestions on what my saturday workout should be? and is doing chest a second day during the week unnecessary??
