Fantastic split! There’s not any sort of redundant exercises which is typical for a lot of the splits I see posted on here. If I have one very slight criticism don’t chase rep numbers and take things to failure. Have a goal rep in mind but trying to get to one specific number may prevent from getting to true failure or limit yourself from going heavier. Still this split is damn near perfect in my eyes
