Alright fit, help me pick a routine to get me out of chicken

Upper lower split with only 1 upper workout a week, 2x lower body.

rest-lower-rest-upper-rest-lower-rest

Do something like this to get your squat/DL up:

Lower 1:
Deadlift Some 5x5 or 3-4x6-8
Leg Press/Split Squat/Front Squat 3-4x6-8
Leg Curl 2-3x10-12
Leg Ext. 2-3x10-12
Calf work
Abs work

Upper:
Flat Bench 3-4x6-8
Row 3-4x6-8
Incline bench/shoulder press 2-3x10-12
Pulldown/chinup 2-3x10-12
Some shoulder isolation (optional, rear delt and/or side delt, choose wisely based on what compounds you do, if you do shoulder press, Lateral raises aren't as neccesary, if doing rear delt rows, rear delt flyes aren't so important) 3-4x8-10 or whatever
Biceps/Triceps 1-2x12-15

Lower 2:
Squat 3-4x6-8 or some kind of 5x5
Romanian Deadlift/Leg Curl 3-4x6-8
Leg Press/Split Squat/Leg Ext 2-3x10-12
Leg Curl 2-3x10-12
Calf work
Abs work

If you really want to stall you upper body, don't add any weight to the bar. But you can still make decent upper body gains and progress adding weight to the bar doing upper body 1x a week.

Holy shit the chicken legs are real. Maybe try doing the squats/DL part of SS while continuing/dialing back your upper body workouts? mirin your bench tho

My goal is to hit 1,000 pound total by next year. This obviously depends on how my back responds to when squat/DL get to heavier weight. If I get there it will probably be rather unconventionally with something like 325bp/305squat/370.

What kind of rows do you suggest? I want to avoid barbell rows as that tends to inflame my back. Would dumbells suffice, then maybe do the pulldowns/chins before the rows?

>>35411913
Just do SS.

A row is a row to me. If you want to prevent stressing the lowest back (which is a very good idea if you're deadlifting and squatting heavy 2x a week), I'd go for a chest supported row. One arm dumbell rows are good and don't stress the spinal erectors, but can do some spinal twisting things. Cable rows are a favourite but there's still definitely low back stress. Yates rows actually have less low back stress than you'd think since your torso is decently upright, 45 degrees or so.

But the best is really a chest supported row machine, if you have access to one. Also, for BBing an underhand close grip row is better IMO, more lat involvement, more biceps (less rear delt, but you can just isolate it after). strength is a bit of a different story though.

You can also feel free to switch around the compounds too. Incline Bench or OHP first along with pulldowns/chinups/pullups. The possibilities are endless (and many of them are just minor changes that don't do all too much.)

I was planning on doing OHP first at least one of my days when I was looking at upper/lower splits. I think I will still do it first with this as obviously my shoulders are somewhat behind as well. I had a AC joint injury back in high school but it feels great now.

Oh, and thanks for the help! Hopefully my back holds up. I think the long rest between sessions is going to be key.
