Yea I’d cut it down alot. Personally I would dump at least all of the exercises that I *'d.
Then hammer the hell out of the “money exercises” like squat & clean.

Are you doing any additional training that you haven’t stated?

Lacrosse

Every coach has their own opinion, but we believe in a more “total body” approach, and don’t use a typical bodybuilding split like the one you described.
One thing you can do is educate yourself - ask yourself questions on what your sport really demands of the athletes who play it, and address the needed areas of strength.
Watch some film…is it a leg/hip dominated sport? Is the posterior chain critical? What are the energy system demands of lax?
These insights, and more, can help lead you down a path to better prepare you for competition!

Good luck!

first off what are you training for, to look pretty or to perform well on the track. if its to be an athlete and not a blotted mass of myofibrial proteins then you really need to change your routine. the onyl thing of real use i see on your legs day is power cleans and squats. i personally dont think that power cleans are necessary as there are other means to achieve the same effect but i dont think they are a bad thing either.

get rid of the incline bench the dumbell flys the shoulder press and all your assorted delt movements. not that delt movements are wrong just that the method i believe you will use will be incorrect for you training needs. you can do alot with just a bench press to trian the upper body and shoulder girdle, not that its the only thing but youve got way way way too muc there.

again youve got alot of fluff with the back movements. you can accomplish almost all of that with just a properly executed deadlift. not to say pull ups are usefull but we are talking economy and you really dont need all that at once.

christ where do you even start with arms. first off you shouldnt even have an arms day (are you sure your not a bodybuilder) form follows function train the body as it should be trained and it will take on the proportions needed to complete the desired motor patterns. all that crap can go and there is only 2 reasons to train the biceps directly. one to help stabalize the shoulder. two to insure that the strength of the arm extonsers does not to greatly exceed that of the arm flexors.

if your a sprinter you dont need cardio. hell if people trained right you would never need cardio. if your looking to burn fat look at your diet and look at your training. heavy weights which recruit fast twtich muslce fibers will burn more fat anyways as the caloric expenditure on these movements is greater.

If I am taking this thread off topic, I appologize. James, I am interested in what you have said here and hope you can elaborate a bit further.

And if need be we can start another thread on these topics.

Thanks

Not really a strength program so much as it is a listing of exercises. But, not a very good display of training economy. More details (set/reps, duration)?

do u have a specific question, i will be happy to field your question…
