Below is my upper body push pull routine. I generally try do this twice in a week (4 days) with an additional leg day for day 5 when I can. I’d love to hear some comments on what I’m missing, need to do more or less of, etc. 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.

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

Leg day not listed above, but yea try to one day a week. Not always the best at getting it done though. Definite need for focus.

Add in some leg work, minimum leg curls, Romanian deadlifts , if u can squat and deadlift then do those.
I think ur plan is missing that, otherwise it's OK.
I love greyskull and ppsa and have come to grips with learning to like squats.

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

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.

Appreciate the feedback. Checking on the GSLP program you mentioned now.

GSLP is good stuff, give GZCLP a read as well, or VDip by GZCL.

Thanks man! 3 days a week lifting doesn’t feel like enough reps. Can I modify it to 4 and just accelerate the plan?
