I’ve been running this routine and I’d like some honest feedback. My main goal is to build an aesthetic physique and maximize muscle growth.
Upper A – Monday
Lower A – Tuesday
Shoulders + Arms – Wednesday
Upper B – Friday
Lower B – Saturday
What would you rate this routine overall? Is the volume and exercise selection good for hypertrophy and aesthetics? Am I missing anything or doing too much of something?
