Im not sure there is really a need to do exercises such as Bench press and military press 3 times a week. There are also alot of exercises to do in a single session. You might be better off if you are going 3 times a week splitting the body parts into different days to work on.

[Richard]

Full body workouts are good but a bit too much volume for my liking mate. You might want to reorganize things a bit. Do the deads first on day 2, & drop the flys altogether.

Did you have a look at HST? I think its a good programme for full body workouts. Have a look at Bison's journal in the training journals section.

[Ollie]

Agreed, if you're going for full body workouts HST is the way forward.

That looks like too much volume!

Got to be honest mate, I don't like it - it's completely different to the first routine you posted up as well?

Are you just starting out? If so you won't go far wrong on a push/pull/legs split

[Karlos02]

i agree, it looks like aload pants - random exercise order, unequally distributed exercises per muscle group.

a push/pull/legs is a basic and effective split.

push

decline BB bench - 4 x 6
incline DB bench - 4 x 6
DB shoulder press - 2 x 8
dips - 2 x 8

Pull

Deadlifts - 4 x 6
Pendlay rows - 4 x 6
Pull ups - 2 x 8
bicep curls - 2 x 8

Legs

squats 4 x 6
Sldls 4 x 6
front squats 2 x 8
calf raise 2 x 8

how does that look? easy?
