    Hi All,

    I've been following the routine below for a couple of months after a couple of rugby injuries and am reasonably happy that I am recovering my pre-injury strength levels. I plan to largely stick with the routine going forward, but will vary alternate rep/set ranges to target either size or strength.

    I just wanted to ask everyone if there were any muscle groups that were being neglected. I can add an exercise or two to each day or change exercises, but cannot add any further days due to work. As stated above the routine seems to be working so I see no need to make wholesale changes, just looking for any tweeks people feel would help:

    Day 1: Squat, Split Squat, Seated Cable Row, Dumbell Arnold Press

    Day 2: Bench Press, Weighted dips, Push Press, Cable Flyers

    Day 3: Deadlift, Clean Pull (from mid-thigh), Weighted Pull-Ups, Calf- Raises

    Floating (aim to do once a week or more - e.g. whilst waiting to use rack): Rotator Cuff, Bicep Curls

    Thanks
    Height: 5'9'' - Weight: 11st 12lbs
    Current Primary Weights: Deadlift: 135 double (after work-up), Squat: 115 double (after work-up), Bench: 95 double (after work-up)

    The program is fine if its working. Dont change things if you're making progress toward your goals.

    The only thing you might consider is some direct rhomboid and rear delt work to keep the shoulders happier.

    Some face pulls, band-no-moneys, band pull aparts, reverse flyes are all good choices.

    "The program is fine if its working"

    I agree with this completely - I just get a bit worried that there will be something missing which might hinder progress or lead to possible injury in the longer-term.

    I'll definitely work in some face-pulls and reverse flyers; I've done them in the past and found they really helped with shoulder and upper back exercises.

    Thanks Spider.
