Opie here. Looks like you're covering everything. Hitting muscles twice a week. Don't see why this wouldn't work. But I'm a newbie to be honest, never done a split either . But yours does look similar to ones I've seen. Which is good. Just my 2 cents
Routine thread
I guess bulking? I'm too small to be cutting. I'm only 114lbs (up from a near-anorexic-looking 88lbs). I say I've gained nearly 25lbs and people still think I have an eating disorder. :'(
Routine is:
Monday: chest/biceps/shoulder
Tuesday: back/triceps
Wednesday is cardio (more athletic conditioning). I like the idea of being able to run/row as well as just lfit.
Thursday: leg.
Friday is play it up.
I rest on the weekends (which allows me to hit the booze on Friday and Saturday and not worry about the hangover at the gym).
>Whatever gets us our results right babe? B-babe?
As long as we change our routine to reflect anything we've missed. It wasn't until six months ago I introduced calf raises in my routine because my calves looked retarded compared to my upper legs.
See what your routine does for you, and maybe you'll keep it or adopt more, babe.
>I've read somewhere that depending on grip, pull ups can hit the rear delt. Is this incorrect?
More like employing biceps or laterals more or less.
Posterior deltoid is part of the shoulders.
>Of course it wouldnt be as great as reverse flies or something
Or just over head press? You know, the best shoulder building exercise besides maybe lateral raises? On that note, I don't do front raises because I expect my current upper chest exercise to work the front shoulder as well as the clavicular head.
>hamstring
Yeah, I'm tempted to separate squats and calves, then include leg extensions and leg curls. Issue is neither of those exercises are actually good, leg extensions can cause damage and leg curls have problems associated to it too.
With that in mind, I'd rather keep squats on my back/bis day since the other muscles involved in a squat are basically the back muscles. I don't actually dislike the dead lift, deadlifts and squats just feel similar to me; I go very low, use low weight and use a little back.
I hate how you group muscles. Are you aware most chest exercises also hit tris and shoulders? Or that most back exercises hit a little bis or that even curls can hit a little back?
>leg/shoulder
How did this make sense to you?
IMO I'd rather hit the muscles I've already worked on so I'm sure everything is properly worked. That's just my idea. Lots of other people will do the exact opposite purely so their muscles aren't tired and they can train as if they're fresh on either muscle groups.
Who's doing bis and tris? You're a faggot.
What do you think about this program for a beginner?

tl;dr
In any event, I'm pretty sure everybody here will tell you to read the fucking sticky. I did but decided GOMAD was not for me because I don't like vomiting and milk will do that. My gains have suffered for it, but oh well. They're just coming on slower and I'm trying to eat more to compensate.
If you can't do that, perhaps get a trainer to tell you what to do. Then read everything here in Veeky Forums and you'll see why your trainer is nothing but a meme.
I've been lurking here for many years and I've read the sticky at least twice. I get that almost everyone will tell me to start with SS but that I'm not gonna do.
Very bad
Why not?
you've been lurking for years
read the sticky more than once
refuse all of the advice and take advice from LITERALLY the worst reddit sub full of DYEL faggots.
if you're going to use reddit at least go to /r/weightroom or /r/powerlifting where the strong people are you weak-willed sack of fuckwit niggershit
would recommend adding OHP/push-press, senpai. Other than that, yes.
