Are these too many Upper Body Workouts? Need advice.

Hey folks,

I've been working on my upper body workouts and I'm kinda worried if I'm doing too much in one day. Here's my current setup:

Monday - Upper Workout 1:

  • Decline close-grip pushups (4 sets of 8-15 reps)
  • Bent over resistance rows (3 sets of 8-15 reps)
  • Wall handstand push ups (3 sets of 8-15 reps)
  • Pull ups (3 sets of 8-15 reps)
  • Resistance Band lateral raises (3 sets)
  • Tricep Dips (3 sets of 8-15 reps)

Thursday - Upper Workout 2:

  • Close Grip push-ups (3 sets of 8-15 reps)
  • Chin ups (3 sets of 8-15 reps)
  • Pike push-ups (3 sets of 8-15 reps)
  • Banded face pulls (3 sets of 8-15 reps)
  • Pseudo Push-up (3 sets of 8-15 reps)
  • Standing Resistance band curls (3 sets of 8-15 reps)

I'm doing an upper-lower split, and my goal is to do handstand pushups without the wall. But I'm thinking if adding lateral raises on Monday is too much. My shoulders, especially lateral delts, need more work, but I don't want to overdo it and risk injury.

So, what do you all think? Should I keep the lateral raises or drop them? Any advice is much appreciated, yaar!

Shoulders and delts do not take long to recover and they generally respond well to high volume. You'll be fine most likely

Hi pal, It's a great workout plan. Before I suggest anything, do you have an intense core workout routine? Doing an HSPU will certainly require strength in your shoulder, triceps and core.
