How about tossing in some calf raises on leg day

Not enough work on the chest day, but that's just me. Also, I find my shoulders so difficult to workout that I need to have them as their own day. I always do calf raises, and it makes more sense to do tris on a chest day. Nevertheless, you would certainly see results on such a routine as long as you lifted heavy enough weights.

Drop the shrugs and put in deadlifts. These will work the entire lower back and traps as well.

I'd also put triceps with chest and biceps with back. Since you work triceps with most chest exercises why not put them together? Same goes for biceps and back. With your current routine you are working chest, back and legs once, and arms and shoulders twice a week (as they are used in chest and back work).
The volume and rep range look good. Also most of the exercises you have included are solid as well. Overall a fairly good routine and better than most that I've seen on here

On your chest day, start out with INCLINE, not flat, you will be happy with that decision in the long run

As for the OP, flat bench is fine.Last edited by Songsangnim; 10-26-2004 at 08:31 AM.

If the question was why incline bench press. The reason why you would do incline bench is that it is the weakest part of your chest it hits. If you notice you can push more weight in flat and decline than incline. One of the many keys to getting stronger is to find the weakest link and make it stronger............

Listen to EA please, and don't waste our time with this stuff. Originally Posted by BFG123

when you do military press do it standing so that you can isolate it more.
when you sit you tend to lean back which uses a bit of chest as well. (i find this anyway)
