Looks good give it a shot.. if it dont work for you then change routine. But just coz it works for pullin big dont mean its gonna work for you but still give a go. whats the worst that can happen. look at it as hands on reasearch.
As for the moves you aint sure about Im in the same boat mabey its pullin bigs special names for things.

The hips are the abductor or adductor machines. aka the yes/no's aka the one's you see all the flabby housewives on for their cottage cheese thighs...very good in assisting the hip flexors which help in squats..i'd suggest a set of both

i never did 100 reps for tri's when i did this routine so im sure you can tailor it to suite you better

the pull-a-parts are done with a band, which i believe your basically doing a front raise then bring them to the side. these can be done with db's as well.


the reverse grip narrow pull downs are palms facing you.


hope that helps.

That's not the original routine. You took out the squats which was the first thing on that list for Monday, I don't know why because I would rather not train any bodypart if I couldn't squat.

No one can tell you which routine to follow. We can only give you a basic routine with the basic ideas of using the basic compound movements. It is then up to you to listen to your body and see what works for you. Anyway I recently switched back to that routine. This is my favorite routine but I modified it my own personal needs. For example, for legs, I only squat and focus on increasing the poundage and when it halts, I change my stance, reps, sets, style (pause, 20 rep breathing, etc). I rarely do box squats and I never leg press. Dont be confused, boxes are not a main mass builder, it is only an assistance ex and you use lighter weight with it. Theres so much to play with squats, I wouldnt want to waste my time with leg presses but I guess I could take some time off squatting and do them twice a year LOL.

What I dont like about this routine is that there is no heavy shoulder pressing and he has shoulders done after chest/tris days which means trying to train them when you're fatigued after chest so I do them before back/bis or after legs. I personally think front raises are the most worthless ex. The front delts are stimulated by chest. Id rather cable curl. BTW I also do that routine mon wed fri. He probably did M T TH because of his work schedule.
