2/10 for anyone but a body builder, 6/10 if you're a body builder.

If you're a regular person this could be the worst routine I've ever seen anyone propose. First off, Lower/Upper split is the worst possible split. You're assuring that the things you do later in the workout will be bear meaningless. PPL or full body is better. Secondly you're doing so little actual things that make you stronger it's almost laughable. This is like something I'd give to my young sister who has never lifted before ever. The rep ranges are idiotic, that much volume will ensure you never do anything real weight. Straight up these are dumb:

3. Lateral raises – 3 sets x 8-12 reps
4. Rear delt flyes – 3 sets x 8-12 reps
5. Overhead tricep extensions – 3 sets x 8-12 reps
2. Hip thrusts– 3 sets x 8-12 reps

Please, please don't make your own routine until you're more knowledgeable. Please. Also Bench and OHP more. Stupid shit like I listed workout 3-4 muscles, OHP and Bench are 40-70 muscles depending on technique

Don’t listen to this retard, this split is fine. Split literally doesn’t matter. However you can make it to the gym every week is what split you should be doing. You are getting at least 6 sets for every muscle group and hitting them all twice a week, if you are natty that’s all you need to see progress. Rep range and volume are also a matter of preference it all depends on your goals, we know they all build muscle. Down the line you will plateau without varying your rep ranges because linear double progression doesn’t work forever, but for now your rep ranges are fine if you are seeing progress. My only critique would be that there is only 1 vertical pull a week, and 2 horizontal pulls. Still 6 sets for lats but you’ll be biasing your mid back. I wouldn’t sweat it unless a wide back is a goal for you though. If it is I would move your rows to your lower days and do lat pulldowns or pullups on both upper days.

What's the story with the photo? Did you do some paranormal urbex?

This is your fucking bar? People like you make me sick. Showing up isn't a win it's the bare minimum and as an aside:

I've never seen such Dog shit bro science ever spouted with a straight face, please don't give advice

would working out in a haunted house increase your gains?

>>76772642
Decent.
>>76772665
This moron does have some good points. Your movement selection is good, but you should indeed bench and OHP more and reduce overall volume significantly.

change all exercises to one set of 5-7 reps

add reverse ez bar curls and wrist curls (either with a bar or on a cable)

do some neck work

do something like this for your lower back/spinal erectors

That’s exactly what I was saying. I enjoy training. I think everyone should pick a split they enjoy because that is what they will do consistently, consistency is what will lead to results. Secondly, horizontal pulling and vertical pulling are simply different exercises, prioritizing horizontal pulling with more volume (scapular retraction, yes it will hit the lower lats but it will hit the rhomboids, rear delts and traps) over vertical pulling (upper lats and teres major, responsible for the width of your back) is not bro science, it is anatomy, retard. To disregard would be the same as to OHP twice a week and bench once a week, then wonder why your chest isn’t as developed as your shoulders and triceps
