Hello,
I've always trained for asthetic reasons. Recently I've made a concious decision to train for strength. I got tired of using the same weight for years (albeight increasing intensity in different ways.) I'm going to start being strict with my weights. I designed a push/pull/legs routine for myself. I wanted some critique. I don't have a weight belt to hang plates off for the bodyweight exercises, so until I get that it will just be to failure. I'm familiar with madcow and Westside, so please don't recommend those to me. Just criticisms on this routine only please.
Despite training for strength (trying to increase my numbers), I'm a bodybuilder at heart. So the mirror still has a hold on me
