Hey, i'm looking for some inputs on my push/pull/leg routine.

Age: 19
Training Experience: 10months on and off.
Height: 6ft 4
Weight: 200lb
Estimated Body Fat: Around 14% unsure.
Body Type: Ecto

Bench Press: 150x5
Deadlift: 240x5
Squat: 230x6

Diet:

310p
350c
140f
3900cal

Clean food, only time i'll have a shake is postworkout or if i'm behind on protein intake for the day.


Goals are to build strength and put on mass.

Tri pushdown 3x8-10

Wed

DB row 4x6
Pullup 4x8
Shrug 2x8
DB Curl 3x8-10

Fri/Sat Week 1

Squat 3x4-6

Calf Raise 2x15-20

Fri/Sat Week 2

Few questions

Should I be going to failure? I'm currently going 1 - 2 reps short of failure.

Should I up the weight every set or keep the weight the same?

Should all push exercises be equal to pull and vice versa?




Thanks for taking the time to read through.

Looks fine, 1 rep short of failure is fine. Straight sets (same weight for all sets) is more 'trainee proof', but ramping to a top set works well also.

Thanks, i'll try the ramping method. Not the biggest fan of doing straight sets.
