Applying the Shotgun Method

Hows this look for a setup using the Shotgun Method? I think I’m going to take this plan for the next 4-6 weeks and see how it goes. I was just wondering if these exercise would work well with this program. Any input about how to modify it better would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Oh and I’ll likely add a Troubleshooting Day C just to switch it up a bit and depending on my needs

You’re trying to do too much. Why can’t you just follow the program? If you think you can add that much volume, it means you aren’t giving enough effort to the exercises that should be in place. The program only recommends 2 troubleshooting days, with only 4 exercises.

Ah i missed that part about there only being 4 exercises. I’ll shave off a few things then. As for following the program I believe I am except for the excess of troubleshooting days which I’ll fix. Any more suggestions? Thanks

I recently just tried the shotgun method but I felt I was overtraining and stopped

Troubleshooting days are for lagging parts…if its chest ; do about 2 exercices on both days + the day of bench on the shotgun days…no needs no to a complete chest workout!!!
