Looking big. Those are some big numbers for the bench, but whats going on with squat? Is the ? in deadlift meaning u dont max out or you don't do them? If you don't, you should. But overall, looks good.

Thanks, I do deadlifts just have never maxed on them. I don't know why my squat isn't better, I do it once a week just never goes up like my bench. I guess you could say squat isn't my exercise lol. I'm hoping to break 400+ by end of school year(end of May)

sometimes the truth hurts
 Good, chest development, and the numbers show that. Now put that much effort into legs and back. Needs a little work: Shoulders, arms definitely need some attention. lat raises, milit. press, front raises, bb curls, wrist curls, etc.

I agree with hrpii, the chest is looking good, but the shoulders and arms need a tad bit of work.....

I like your routine a lot. Using heavy weight for low reps is a great way to lose fat and preserve muscle during a cutting phase, especially if you keep rest periods around 30 seconds.
You may want to cut out some volume, but if you are sticking to the 1-2lbs a week of weight loss and are feeling good while lifting, you may be ok. Good luck to ya!

Yea thanks I enjoy it myself to, I actually got it from someone on these boards. I try to go quick with the rest between sets, though for main ones like bench,squats, and deadlifts i'll take a little longer break. I'll sometimes do supersets like a set of narrow bench get up and go to a set of dips. Just try to mix it up sometimes.
Hopefully this will help my cutting though having a little trouble just getting the diet straighten out. I am adjusting as I go on though. I'm taking in right now(trying to)100-150 grams of carbs, trying to figure good number.Fats trying to be around 70+ but it is hard to reach that. And protein around 210-225.(my body weight is 190) I'm just worried I'm gooing to lose muscle during my cut and look like a skinny whimp with no build. lol But patience will tell.

also, i would strongly advise against adding in front delt work. the front delts r typically overdone, especially with ppl who do a lot of flat bench. military press does enough on the front delts so dont bother adding in front-delt raises.

Yea I always like to switch it up. I'll add the front raises to my shoulder day, either with plate or DB's or rotate. Shouldn't I add shrugs to my back and bi day? Because it is a major back muscle and that a long w/ deadlifts. Or would working the traps twice a week be ok?(mon and fri)

But you can do them twice a week too and include on back days and then on shoulder days The only time I have done shrugs on shoulder days is when I did upright rows as they work the traps too...But if I do upright rows for my shoulders now, I use a wide grip and I dont raise that par up past my upper chest area, this way the target is pure delts and hardly any traps..... I think traps belong on back day as that should go without speaking as to why
