What's up.

I've been receiving criticism off my routine. I've been told that I should modify a few things to achieve maximal potential, such as lower the volume in pull days, not to work hypertrophy and strength in alternate in the same split, and more. My goal is to gain muscle and strength, as most people working out in a gym.:p
Here is my current routine. I was wondering what H&F would think of it. I know there are a lot of people trolling in this sub-forum, but maybe I will also receive constructive opinions, so let's see!

Would be better for us to assess this if you included the amount of sets you're doing for each exercise and roughly the % of your 1RM you're implying and on what sets you're going to failure on.

From what you've posted

you seem to be hitting your upper body twice a week and legs only once
you're squatting the day after deadlifts

heavy deadlifts should be earlier in the week anyway if you were to follow it with a hypertrophy day. Also remember that there's nothin wrong with 8, 9, or 10 day rotations. Not every routine needs to be squeezed in a week.

tbh i think it's too much. i think 3-4 days are enough but i guess it depends on how heavy u lift. i go 3 days a week and rarely stay longer than 45 minutes there. if i were u i'd just do startingstrength or stronglifts til u get stronger

I never go to failure actually, I think it would burn my CNS a little too much. Thanks for the advice on the deadlift and the day rotations!! I would have to put PULL 1 in the beginning so it stays away from my squat or something

4 day split crew

Judging by your leg pic, have 2 leg days and up the sets on both.

Well for the moment I still get good gains with one day a week, and I couldn't go to the gym 6 times a week tbh. After a leg day I'm sore for 3-4 days:P

Trust me, you're nor THAT sore. I've fit my leg day twice in a week and it has twice the volume of yours. Drop a push or a pull day.

I think it can work well, if you don't mind your legs falling a little behind. That Bering said, I think you could deadlift on both pull days to give your posterior train a better stimulus and focus the leg day more on quad dominant movements.

I'd also up the reps a little for some hypertrophy exercises, like the pull downs, and I'd do lower rep on strength days; I'd go for triples or so.

Good overall, depending on your ambiguous goals. Knowing more would let us help more.
