Last set of every exercise (and possibly some others) to failure. Same weight each set. Adding weight to the bar when i hit upper rep range in all sets. 1-2 warmup sets before first exercises for given muscle group.


Also rarely if I cant go to the gym on Monday I will combine Monday's and Tuesday's routine (cutting out some exercises) and do it on Tuesday:



Squats 5x5-10
Leg Extensions: 3x15
Stiff leg Deads 4x10
Incline DB Press 4x6-10
Weighted Dips 4x6-10
Cambered bar Skullcrushers 4x6-10

I know it isnt optimal, but this is really rare event.

Looks like your typical muscle mag routine that doesn't work as well for most newer people and/or people without drugs.

The first two workouts look alright (Legs and Chest/Triceps), although I do not see the other two sessions as being optimal and the Leg session seems like a bit much in terms of volume.

Overall this routine is not something that I would follow... but that is just my opinion.

Don't do stiff-legged and regular deads in the same week.

You are doing too much direct shoulder work considering the chest work you are performing on the other day. I would greatly reduce the shoulder work and combine it with your back day.

I would also skip the leg extensions and the lunges. You are trying to do way too much.
