I use lateral raises as a pull exercise, but now that I think about it, it is a push because the contraction is when the resistance is distal.

Why did you exclude military press? Also, are you going to alternate push/pull exercises during each session?

Im going by point #5 in this article http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do?****1053531
But according to that I think I should have only 3 sets for bench instead of 6 because bench counts as a protraction and an internal rotation. I wished the author used an example routine. -

Im abit confused. Monday push, thursday pull. all other days off. The person only wants to work out 2 days per week, seeing as though there just starting out I want to make things easy for them, I know its not the best routine but after 2-3 months I am going to put them on full body 3 days per week which they should appreciate due to shorter work outs.

Decline DB Bench press 2x8-12
Incline DB Bench press 2x8-12
Bent over DB Row 4x8-12
Lying Lat raise 3x8-12
Lat pulldown 4x8-12
Shrugs 1x8-12
Cuban press(w scapula depressed) 1x40
DB Rear delt row 3x8-12
Bomber Curl 1x8-12
Decline Skull Crusher 2x8-12
Hyper extension 2x8-12
Squats 3x12
I dont know how, but I realised lat pulldown is an internal rotation, and bent over rows are not an external rotation.
