Critique my strength routine

New member
[FONT=&quot]I'm starting a new strength routine since mine has gotten old and I made this one combining exercises and percent cycles I like. I'm mainly focusing on my bench at the moment but i also look to get my squat and deadlift maxes up also. Anyways my main question is do I have too many sets? If so what should I take out or change in your opinion?[/FONT]

Is this program giving you the results you want? If so keep at it until it does not, and then check out other strength programs online. There are a lot of great ones to borrow from or use.
 
Honestly I don't pay much attention to others people's training routine. It bores me to no end. Just train hard... If you're into strength training then do the lifts the powerlifters do.
