Full body 3 times a week

Benchpress
T bar rows
Behind the neck press
Squats
RDLs

3-4 sets x 6-10 reps
 

Rating: 7.5/10

✅ Pros:

  • Covers major compound lifts (Bench, Squat, RDL, Rows, OHP).
  • Balanced push (Bench) and pull (Rows, RDLs).
  • Includes both upper and lower body.
  • Good frequency (3x a week).
❌ Cons & Fixes:

  1. Behind-the-Neck Press Risk:
    • This exercise can put excessive strain on your shoulders and neck, increasing injury risk.
    • Fix: Swap for a regular Overhead Press (OHP) or Dumbbell Shoulder Press for safer mechanics.
  2. No Direct Arm or Core Work:
    • Your biceps get indirect work from rows, and triceps from bench, but some direct work could help.
    • Fix: Add Chin-ups/Pull-ups (for biceps & back) and Dips or Close-Grip Bench (for triceps).
    • Fix: Add planks, hanging leg raises, or ab rollouts for core.
  3. No Horizontal or Vertical Pulling Variety:
    • Fix: Consider alternating T-bar Rows with Pull-ups or Lat Pulldowns to hit different back angles.

Suggested Improved Routine (Still 3x a Week)

  1. Bench Press (Push – Chest, Triceps)
  2. T-Bar Rows (Alt. with Pull-ups) (Pull – Back, Biceps)
  3. Overhead Press (Instead of Behind-the-Neck Press) (Push – Shoulders)
  4. Squats (Legs – Quads, Glutes)
  5. RDLs (Legs – Hamstrings, Glutes)
  6. Chin-ups or Dips (Arms – Biceps or Triceps)
  7. Core (Planks or Hanging Leg Raises)
