Well now pull-ups are pretty much the same thing as Lat Pulldowns but rather then freeweights, your own bodyweight is used. He is already doin Lat Pulldowns friday and in total doin 12 sets of back exercise throughout the week. Im trying to allow him to hit different angles of the muscle in each workout not repeat the same.
Also on monday hes doin 3 HUGE compound lifts at a fairly intense pace...by the end of these 3 he will b exhausted so thats why i supplemented that workout with an isolation and moved other compound lifts to friday. If anything i would even like to add 2 more sets of tricep isolation but that mite b too much to handle for him.

Well when only limiting workouts to twice weekly, you are craming to many huge compund lifts with a fair amount of volume into a workout. This will inevitable cause the workouts to be less intense. HOWEVER, if he can add in just one more day then he will effectively be able to split these huge lifts supplementing with 1-2 isolation exercises over the course of a week, keeping the intensity nice and steady and also avoid overtraining.
<div></div><div id="QUOTEHEAD">QUOTE</div><div id="QUOTE">How come 6 sets of bench and only 2 of shoulder press? you need some equality</div>
He is effectively hittin his anterior deltoid in two other exercises where the load will be far greater then that of the standing shoulder press...and seeing how small a muscle the deltiod (particularly the anterior) is, puttin any further stress will induce overtraining.
