Just read the two books from Eric Helms (the muscle and strength pyramid) can really recommend it! So i made an routine out from his sample routines that he recommended in his books, but added some more rear delt and traps work for my weaknesess, he mentioned that you should do this.
I will be using just novice progression on the 3x5 lifts and double progression on the isolation lifts, im returning from a year without lifting so im gaining strength fast! when the novice progression stops working i will do wave loading periodization, what he recommended after novice progression stalls.
How does my routine looks? I know my upper day has a lot of work but i need that upper back volume
