Try adding incline DB curls, apparently that stretch creates more IGF receptors on the muscle, plus no one has ever gone wrong with them. You really want forearms don't you . Can you do pullups? They're much more effective than pulldowns. But other than that, it's a very solid program. What is an ab wheel?

 

[Advaik]

Incline DB curls? How would I go performing this? Ive never even heard it before

I weigh too much to do any pullups

Ab wheel is that wheel with 2 handles. Doing it on the floor doesnt do shit but doing it on the wall hits the upper abs pretty good

Four exercises for chest is way too much in my opinion. Stick w/ the bench 5x5 and then move on to some incline db for 2x8-10

Tuesday:
BTN Press 5x5
Side Laterals 2x8-10
Shrugs 2x8-10
Deadlifts 5x5
Good-Mornings 2x8-10
Bent-Over Rows 2x8-10
Wrist Rollers 2x3-4

Be careful with behind the neck press. I normally just do military to the front and I believe it works just fine. Everything else here looks pretty solid. I think that deads and good mornings in the same workout would kill me personally, but see how you feel.

IMO you should switch the friday and saturday around. Youre hitting chest with only 48 hours rest from Sat to Mon
