Please critique my upper programme, designed for the more advanced novice/early intermediate. This programme utilizes both heavy and light training for each day. Progress is either adding reps on the 2x10-12 exercise or weight (1kg - 2.5kg) and the same on the heavy 3x5 exercises.
I understand full body is best and more effective for the novice, but the upper lower allows a little more variation and teaches the lifter different variations of exercises.
I am currently studying and training to become a fitness instructor and personal trainer, so any advise would be greatly appreciated.
