You seem 'new' by your posting, and I sense 'excitement'. Be careful, don't get so into your workout that it becomes something you cannot sustain. This leads directly to failure/quitting. So be careful with your 'enthusiasm'. Digesting that, I would investigate an antagonist type workout instead of what you are doing. You should find you are much stronger in your second exercise, thus you will be able to use heavier weights. This obviously results in greater overload, thus more chance of muscular size and strength gains. I actually am a big fan of the four day a week workout split like you are close to here, with one cardio day on one of my off days from resistance training. -------------- Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer
