Effective Chest/Back workout?

[jtrink]

Hey I wanted to see what u guys think about my chest/back day...Too much work? Bad exercises? etc.

Flat Bench - 2 sets (Varies in reps cause its a cycle)
Close Grip Bench - 2 sets (Varies in reps cause its a cycle)
Incline Bench - 2 sets (Varies in reps cause its a cycle)

Bar Shrugs - 4 x10
Chinups - 5x5
Seated Rows 3 x10
Lat Pulldowns 3 x10

Feel free to make changes...Yes i know i dont do deadlifts!

[Mr. _____]

Why don't you do deadlifts?

1. Close Grip Bench is not really a chest workout but a tricep workout
2. I'd replace those with fly's if you really have energy after doing bench and incline bench
3. Shrugs for what?
4. Pulldowns IMO are just a weaker variation of chinups
5. Add deadlifts as the 1st back workout of your routine

Well you have a lot more back than chest for starters.

chest/tris/shoulders:
Flat Bench - 2 sets (Varies in reps cause its a cycle)
Close Grip Bench - 2 sets (Varies in reps cause its a cycle)
Incline Bench - 2 sets (Varies in reps cause its a cycle)
shoulders w/free weights 4 sets of 10

legs/back/bi's:
squats 4 sets of 10
DB lunges 4 sets of 10
lat pulldown 4 sets of 10
seated row 4 sets of 10
preacher curl 4 sets of 10
deadlifts --- HOW MANY REPS/SETS??

-Do chins or pullups instead of pulldowns

-Do tri's at the end of your workout. You don't want to burn them out before you finish working chest

-Deadlifts and squats together in the same workout is a killer. I would split it up into 3 days instead of 2.

Agree with all 3 points, especially the point about deads and squats on the same day. Make one an accessory and then do a ME workout later in the week. If you go max effort on both then you might be a robot.
