You need to get on the PPSA train and not look back.

very light on shoulder work, heavy on press work. if you are going to priortize chest, i think you need to have some flyes in there and before hitting tons of machine work, better off getting good at dips

you have shoulder work in your pull day. thats fine but you are destroying them on pull day then trying to come back and hit your major progressive lift on the push day

I’m completely “self-taught” and have just cobbled this together over time going to the gym the past 2 years. Thanks in advance for all the feedback.

ill be honest, the program above has a ton of frickarounditus.

i would suggest you either getting on the greyskull lp aesthetics template i posted in the greyskull thread on here if you have never run a linear progression

if you have run an LP program, i suggest you getting on a PPSA program. I would suggest starting with grasshopper. if you like the push/pull/legs type routine, look at pump city as its ppl.

i tell everyone, stop trying to program for yourself. You dont know better thant he best coaches in the world. if you have done a program a while, you can tweak it some but not until you understand the princples behind it.
