   | Well I guess if you did not go heavy then ok but I like to do each muscle group once a week with intensity. If you did not go heavy with alot of intensity then I guess this would be ok. Hey try it out and let us know if it works for ya. If not then no biggie and if it does then keep that routine.

| Joolz looks good but I would drop a bent over row or cable row or t-bar row and do a pulldown instead. 3 thickening for back (even tho 9 sets) in my opinion is too much and not enough for widening. The bent over exercises are all quite similar. When I do a thickening exercise I mix up the lower rowing and mid rowing. We also have a high row machine at my gym.

| hackskii, i agree if you are following a BBing routine, that either chins or pulldowns are a good exercise to swap with a rowing one. However, this is a routine i am doing for strength etc and widening isnt my number 1 priority! Also, ive got genetically good lats. So if you are following more a BBing rouitne, swap T-bar for pull downs or chins!

| good routine, but can't help but think that is very litle in the sense of chest excercises? is such little going to induce growth? i mean i trust ya because your the big man, thanks alot for that mate will standing push press work legs too soon after leg day? and same with farmers walk working shoulders 2 days after shoulder day? i will probably swap t bar for wide chins, i am looking to widen as i have exceptionally crap lats thanks again mate!

| well, i initially thought trhat there was too little for the chest, but a) the person who gave me this plan REALLY knows his stuff!!! b) my chest, which is by far my weakest body-part, has actually responded very well to it! 5x5 on bench, 3 sets of close grip and 3 sets of dips, will fry your chest! try it and i bet you'll be sore!

| oh, and i dont even do 5x5 on the bench, i only put that many sets in as i knew people would complain it wasnt enough for chest! I only do 2 warm up sets and 3 heavy sets! Yep, along with the push pressing too, your triceps take a right hammering!
