Maybe you could take a look at OVT or GVT?


Forgot to mention you can look in my journal if you are interested in OVT lol (Thanks Eric)

If what you are doing IS working for you and you want to stick with it but improve efficiency and maybe realize more gains then OVT would be a definite improvement.

Bottom line, this one muscle a day training is NOT the best, most efficient way to go EVEN for begginers.

Kane forgot to mention that you can look in his journal if you're interested in this .

I also think that HST or some variation thereof is a good program for relative beginners and is really not that hard to understand.

There are plenty of people here who are willing to help you figure these things out. BTW, you can't gain experience and knowledge without biting the bullet, doing your homework, and trying knew things.

I was looking at the OVT program and was thinking I am gonna go with that. I made a spread sheet I think is kinda cool, I just need help figuring out what all the lifts are, I tired google but barely got anything. So if anyone could help me it would be much appreciated.

If someone could review the spread sheet and critique it, it would be helpful. Just catch me on aim (Chris28806) or leave your e-mail adress and I could send it to you. Thank you

Hey thanks for all the help and comments. Once Christmas rolls by I will have a camera and will post some pics. Thanks again.

The only lift I can't find is the Romanian Deadlift

Heres what I was thinking, critque it please

Everything is 5X5

2 more questions....
I studied up on deadlifts and the proper form and technique to do them, I feel that I have the correct form to do them, looking at the muscle groups they are listed under legs. When I do them I feel it more in my back than in my legs. It burns just like any other muscle I train. What am I doing wrong?

Is the only differance between the sumo and Romainian deadlift the stance of the feet?

Thanks for the help once again
