Ok guys, I need some advice. I am thinking of switching things up a bit. I have a pull-up bar coming and will need to integrate it into my routine.

I currently have a strength/cardio routine that looks like this. (All weight training is done on a Powertec WB-LS except where noted.)

Monday
Squats
Calf raises
Lying leg curls
Leg extensions

Tuesday
30 minutes on elliptical

Wednesday
Shoulder shrugs
Seated shoulder press
Arm curls
Triceps push downs

Thursday
30 minutes on elliptical

Friday
Incline Bench press
Butterflies (barbells)
Lat pull down
Seated row

Saturday
30 minutes on elliptical

Sunday
Rest

All my workouts are done when I get home from work. The weights are done on a standard 3x10 scheme. If I am able to complete the last rep with good form I increase the weight on that exercise for the next session. I am currently cutting therefore I am not adding weight all that often. Currently averaging about .5lbs a week of fat loss eating about 1950 cals a day. Anything you guys think I should change? Where would I integrate workouts with the pull-up bar? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

Try fullbody!

Squats
RDLs
Benchpress
seated row
standing press
pullups

3x6 one session and 2x8 the next. Something like this for 6 weeks might be just the thing for variety.

Workout on your pullup bar where you're slotted in for Lat pulldowns.

Do your pullups before machine lat pulldowns.

Do palms facing and palms away in the same workout.

Do them close grip. Save widegrip for the machine.

Regardless of how many you can do in a row, start weighting them, even if you can only do one.

Try alternating them set for set with your benchpress, rather than doing all your pullups at once.

Do your wide machine lat pulldowns after your seated Row.

Use hooks on these if your arms are baked by then.

I may try fullbody at some time, but for now I want to stick with the split.

Thanks Hevy! I will incorporate these changes and see how it goes :)
