I do ab work on chest day and arm day. The order I use is Legs, chest, rest, back, shoulders, arms, rest. Any suggestions would be fantastic. Or just a good job would be cool too.

good job :big_smile: if you are looking to bulk, just remember to keep your reps low (maybe even 6-8) and rest about 1- 2 minutes b/t sets.
have you filled out your nutritional profile? if you havent get that done to see how much protein, carbs etc. you should be taking in on a daily basis. this will be key to feeding your muscles and achieving the results you want..

So are you saying drop the first set to 8? Maybe an 8-6-4-2 type set with everything?

2? isnt that getting abit into powerlifting? Try this 12-10-8-8(or maybe 6 at this point absolute minimum), that is if you have emphasis on bulking up. If you wanna bench your car, then maybe your sets are better

I would say for hypertrophy the 10 8 6 4 repscheme is not a bad idea. 8 6 4 2 is also a good rep schemeo. utlizing the lower reps you will be able to work with higher weigths for greater gains.
