Seems like if i do two arm barbell curls and single arm dumbell curls, its being redundant 🙂 why not just keep doing sets on dumbell curls? OR i can do some dumbell hammer curls where i dont twist the dumbell up top and “peak” the bicep. I just work alittle different part of the arm. not sure what i’ll end up doing there

**For chest** you can add flys…they are not for back. Also [http://www.exrx.net/Lists/ExList/ChestWt.html](http://www.exrx.net/Lists/ExList/ChestWt.html)

**For back** you can add pullups/chinups (various grips)…these are some of the best exercises to develop your back. Also look here for more back exercises:  
[http://www.exrx.net/Lists/ExList/BackWt.html](http://www.exrx.net/Lists/ExList/BackWt.html)

**For Arms** look here [http://www.exrx.net/Lists/ExList/ArmWt.html](http://www.exrx.net/Lists/ExList/ArmWt.html)

Also, don’t get too carried away with doing a ton of sets, your arms get pretty taxed when doing chest and back…anything more than 2 exercises may be overtraining…if you break it up you may be able to hande 3 exercises…but if you overtrain them they will not grow at all.

**Legs:** There are a ton more exercises you can try:

[http://www.exrx.net/Lists/ExList/ThighWt.html](http://www.exrx.net/Lists/ExList/ThighWt.html)

[http://www.exrx.net/Lists/ExList/HipsWt.html](http://www.exrx.net/Lists/ExList/HipsWt.html)

[http://www.exrx.net/Lists/ExList/CalfWt.html](http://www.exrx.net/Lists/ExList/CalfWt.html)

I didn’t see any **shoulders** …so take a look here:

> **[ExRx.net : Shoulder Exercises](https://exrx.net/Lists/ExList/ShouldWt)**

That site is a great site to reference…tons of good info on there. Also for the “300 lb club” once you can press 225 for a clean 10 reps you should be in the ballpark. Once you get there you will want to push 3 plates on each side…then you will want more…it never ends!!!
