tuesday-cardio (mostly basketball and jump rope)

wednesday- back/biceps- pull ups, lat pull downs, seated cable rows, preacher curls, free weight curls, rear delt flies (machine)

Where are the squats, deadlifts

Ditch the machines. Do full body barbell only workouts three to five days per week.

Machines force a specific range of motion/direction, which is not always the same as human mechanics. They also work the targeted muscles more, not as much on the stabilizers. Someone who can squat 700 lb is going to look a lot different than someone who can leg press 700 lb.

why cant you do squats?

Do an experiment. Completely eliminate barbells from your workout for 3 whole months and see where your strength & size level is...

Next phase. Do exclusively barbells and see what happens to your strength & size...

This is a way for you to get first hand knowledge of the power of a barbell...

The philosophy i'm encouraging is not so much "no machines" as it is "emphasis on adding weight to barbell movements"

Machines and dumbbells can be used as assistance exercises to target specific weaknesses.

Here's your back workout:

wednesday- back/biceps- pull ups, lat pull downs, seated cable rows, preacher curls, free weight curls, rear delt flies (machine)

Here's what i suggest:

deadlift, 45 degree bent row, under hand pull up. and since you're doing so few exercises you'll have energy to really push yourself to the limit. just some insight into potential training methods
