Hi, i've been working out at the gym for 2 months now and as part of the package i purchased i get reappraisals every 2 months and i wanted ur opinion the the new routine that the trainer has given me.

I work out 3 times a week (M,W,F) and have been doing so for 2 months, I am currently 165lbs, 6ft and i want to reduce the amount of body fat i have before i start bulking. Heres the routine:


Mon-Wed-Fri
45deg Leg Press 3x10
Leg Extensions 3x10
Fitball Curl 3x10 (works hamstrings and abs)
Inclined DB press/DB press (alternating between the 2) 3x10
T-Bar Row 3x10
Military shoulder press BB 3x10
Assist Tricep dips 3x10
AB crunches on fitball
also 10-15min cardio

Tue-Thur-Sat
30-45min cardio

Would really appreciated ur opinion so i know if i should bother with the reappraisals! Also should i include an isolated bicep exercise?

I don't see any reason to do leg presses and/or leg extensions.

I would replace them with squats and deadlifts.

What was your regimen last time?

The T-bar, it is chest supported or no? If it's chest supported, I would replace with convention bent over rows.

I see no reason to do both bench presses and dips. One or the other since they both work the pecs, the inclines also work the anterior delts.

my OLD routine consisted of

M-W-F
45deg hack squats 3x10
leg extensions 3x10
seated leg curls 3x10
bench press 3x10
seated row 3x10
tricep pulldown 3x10
bicep/hammercurls (alternated) 3x10
shoulder press DB 3x10
also cardio 10-15min

T-T-S
cadio 30-45min

With my NEW routine, should i include an isolated bicep exercise?

Well, I don't like your current routine, so if you want good advice:

Buy "New Rules of Lifting" and forget the stupid trainers for anything more than form correction.
