Sorry to make another post here;

I’ve been doing this routine. I’ve a lot going on at home and work so I’m trying to save time in the gym without sacrificing too much. Here’s what I’ve been doing one;

1-
bench 5x5 superset lateral raises 5x10
Incline bench 5x10 superset calf raise 5x20
Chest flies 5x10 superset skull crushers 5x10
Squats 5x8

2-
Weighted pull-ups 5x5 superset with frontal raise 5x10
Bentover rows 5x10 superset shrugs 2x20
Straight arm lat pull downs 5x10 superset with EZ curls 5x10
Deadlifts 5x8

Am I wasting my time doing this? I do each twice a week (mon/ties/thurs/Fri) I was doing everything in sets of 5 when I was building up, I’ve dropped down to 3-5 sets now i’m On a cut.

I definately built some size, I gained some strength. Kind of upping the compound lifts by 2.5 - 5kg a month. Typically reaching failure on set 4 or 5 for all exercises.

I know I’ve heard and seen people get solid results from bad programs as long as they stay consistent.

Is this a bad program?

Not bad...
If you are making progress it must be working.

In general, the program is not bad, but still I want to understand the purpose of your studies. This is what makes the program worth building.

I’m trying to minimize time in the weight room, and maximise time with family. My wife’s pretty sick, like, 1/5100000 sick. So I’m trying to hit everything at least once every five days. There is an arm day I do also. I do it in the style of push-pull-push-arms, and the following week will be pull-push-pull-arms.

I know I can’t have everything, so I’m trying to get the best of both worlds.

I can say that you are right, the hall is not the whole life. Family is important and the most important thing in life. I think you can do everything.

Program looks solid and since you made progress it must be working well for you, family is important so don't stress about it too much just keep going man. I wish you and your wife the best.
