Well I need a new routine...
Well seeing how working everything twice a week seems to be frowned upon, I'd like to build a new routine. But first I want to say, should I stick with compounds?? Bench press etc? And are rack-pulls sufficient replacement for dead lifts?
Should I keep biceps & back and chest & triceps together in one day? Can I switch those around (biceps & chest, triceps & back)? Which pairing is better? I would think back & biceps and chest & triceps would be, seeing how they both work together most of the time. I'm just wondering why the last time I tried sticking with a handful of compounds I didn't really see much progress. Anyway, I'm thinking about the following: *Bench Press done on smith machine Monday - Chest Flat Bench Press 4x 12, 10, 10, 8 Flat Dumbbell Press 3x 12, 12, 12 Flat Dumbbell Flys 3x 12, 12, 12 Decline Bench Press 3x 12, 10, 8 Incline Bench Press 3x 12, 10, 8 Incline Dumbbell Flys 3x 12, 12, 12 Crunches 3x Failure Tuesday - Arms Bicep Curls 3x 12, 10, 10 Hammer Curls 3x 10, 8, 8 Behind Back Cable Curls 3x 15, 12, 10 Forearm Curls 3x 12, 12, 12 Triceps extensions 3x 10, 10, 10 Triceps Push-Downs 3x 12, 12, 12 Triceps Dips 3x 12, 12, 12 Wednesday - Legs Squats 4x 12, 12, 10, 8 Knee Extension 2x 12, 12 Leg Press 2x 12, 12 Stiff Legged Dead-lift 4x 15, 15, 12, 12 Hamstring Curls 2x 12, 12 Calf Raises 3x Failure Crunches 3x Failure Thursday - Back Pull-Ups 3x 10, 10, 10 Bent-Over Rows 4x 15, 12, 12, 10 Lateral pull down 3x 10, 10, 10 Rack-Pulls 4x 12, 12, 10, 8 Dumbbell Shurgs 3x 10, 10, 10 Friday - Shoulders Dumbbell Shoulder Press 4x 12, 10, 10, 8 Upright Rows 4x 12, 10, 10, 8 Side lateral raises 2x 10, 10 Front lat raises 3x 10, 10, 10 Crunches 3x Failure |
Can't seem to edit my own post :wtf: so I'll just add this here:
The above is basically all I can think of I can do for each area, I'd like some opinions on everything from the reps to the exercises to the order and the splits and whether there's anything I can add or change. Cheers!! :WEIGHT~13: |
If Wolf comes in here , he can give you some good advice on a program. I would suggest listening to it and doing it.

i love how you still ignored kane's advice. i also love how you have 4 kinds of curls in one day and 0 deadlifts over 5 days.

he has a stiff leg dead in there ;)
4 kinds of curls = double intense'er. |

Can't I ignore advice if it's not what I want to do? |
do your deadlifts on the floor, then. your gym has one of those, right?
also - what do you want to do, then? cause the way i see it, your routine seems geared towards gaining mass, and training your lower body only 20% of your entire workload is counterintuitive to that goal. if you're not trying to get bigger or stronger, then sure, ignore that advice. |

I agree. And yes I want to gain size and strength, so what should I do differently? As I previously said, I tried a 3 day split with a good diet for a long time and didn't see any real gains. I want to workout 4-5 a week (mon-fri). |
