| Rank: Light Heavyweight Experience: 3-5 Years | Hey everyone I'm gonna be switching programs again. The main reason I switched from the upper-lower to this full body program was because I couldnt manage the upper-lower in respect to my schedule at school. But, I've finalized my schedule and I can go back to the upper-lower. So that is what I will be doing. Starting from tomorrow I go back to the upper-lower concept but its gonna be slightly different this time. The layout is 3 workouts per week which means that my upper-lower is rotating 4 workouts in 3 sessions per week...i.e. Week 1: Lower 1 Upper 1 Lower 2 Week 2: Upper 2 Lower 1 Upper 1 Week 3: Lower 2 Upper 2 Lower 1 etc etc The four workouts are: Lower 1 - Deadlift Upper 1 - Military Press Lower 2 - Squat Upper 2 - Bench Press My goals have not changed at all: 1.) Get my BF% down to 10-12% 2.) Pull a respectable amount off the floor. 3.) Get my military press to 185 lbs. So, the exercise selection is as follows: Deadlift Day - Deadlifts - Bulgarian Squats 2x6-8 - Glute Ham Raises 2-3 sets - Grip Work Military Press Day - Military Press - Row Variant (Currently dumbbell rows) - Press Variant (i rotate between flat db presses and uni shoulder presses) - Tricep Exercise Squat Day - Squats 5x5 or 3x5, 2x8 or something. since we're not in any hurry for this i dont need anything set in stone - Unilateral RDLs 2x6-12 - Regular RDLs 2-3x8-12 - Grip Work Bench Press Day - Bench Press maintenance work; Speed-Strength work @ 70-80% or 1,2,3,4,5RM testing - Pull-ups Density Training - Row Variant (barbell rows probably) I look forward to tomorrow's Deadlift Day Thanks to Eric once again for the new program! |

| Rank: Light Heavyweight Experience: 3-5 Years | thanks, sir Quote:
My best pull so far has been 315x3. I am hoping to get my deadlift above that and to get my BF% down to 12% over the next 6 months. Lets see. | |
