No spotters no straps no creatine.

Ok, new log.

I've done a full body routine when I started out training, it's been a while since then and as I agree with "the best routine is the one you are currently not doing" I started one again.

 

Some weights are pretty low, I haven't done some of the exercises for a while so gotta get use to them again. Also working on form for some, I'll add weight along the way.

 

So full body routine, 5 days a week. Reps ranges are 5x5 and 4x10 alternating between group 1 and 2.

Alternating(no supersets) between excersise A1 and A2, B are straight sets - so for group1 it's a set of bench, set of rows, bench, rows, etc.

 

Monday:

Group1 (5x5)

A1 - DB bench: 28kg 1x5 - 30kg 4x5

A2 - BB rows: 50kg 5x5

B - Front squats: 50kg 5x5 -always all the way down.

 

Group2 (4x10)

A1 - Military press: 30kg 4x10

A2 - Pullups: bw 4x10

B- Straight leg deads: 30kg 1x10 - 35kg 1x10 - 40kg 2x10

 

 

Teusday:

Group1 (4x10)

A1 - DB bench: 28kg 4x10

A2 - BB rows: 45kg 2x10 - 47kg 2x10

B - Front squats: 45kg 4x10

 

Group2 (5x5)

A1 - Military press: 35kg 1x5 - 37kg 2x5 - 40kg x5 - 42kg x5

A2 - Pullups: bw 5x5

B- Straight leg deads: 45kg 5x5

 

Thursday:

Group1 (5x5)

A1 - DB bench: 32kg 5x5

A2 - BB rows: 50kg 1x5 - 52kg 1x5 - 54kg 1x5 - 56kg 1x5 - 58kg 1x5

B - Front squats: 50kg 1x5 - 52kg 1x5 - 54kg 1x5 - 56kg 2x5

 

Group2 (4x10)

A1 - Military press: 32kg 2x10 - 34kg 1x10 - 35kg 1x10

A2 - Pullups: bw 4x10

B- Straight leg deads: -skipped cause felt something funny in hamstrings.

 

Friday:

Group1 (4x10)

A1 - DB bench: 30kg 4x10

A2 - BB rows: 47kg 1x10 - 50kg 3x10

B - Front squats: 45kg 4x10

 

Group2 (5x5)

A1 - Military press: 40kg 2x5 - 42kg 2x5 - 44kg 1x5

A2 - Pullups: bw 5x5

B- Straight leg deads: 50kg 2x5 - 55kg 3x5

 

Last one of the week later. Bench and pullups are about right, most others are pretty easy at the moment. Form is really good.

Also I found out my DB bars can take more than I thought , so I can keep adding weight without buying new ones, cool!

Thoughts after week 1: I like this routine, don't know how long I'll keep it, I'll see how I feel after a couple of weeks. Some exercises still pretty easy but form is cool. Pretty happy about the benching though.

Db bench press 3 days in a row and then military press the next day, you don't try to give your chest a rest in between workouts? Just curious as to why, not criticizing.

 

When I was hitting my chest to the absolute max and to the point of avoiding other bodyparts just to accentuate chest workouts, I still never did it every day in a row.

Hey Lean and Green,

I think you missread. Group1 and 2 are done in the same session so I'm not accentuating any parts, every exercise is done every training day.

 

I'll see if 2 days are enough for recovery, it's been fine this week though.

 

Why? Well, it's very different to what I've been doing for the last couple of routines and I like to change things up.

I think you have really nice training program, front squats ftw!

 

Something I wonder:

 

If you can do pullups 4 x 10 (which is nice ), do you have to work at all to do 5 x 5? I think

 

Also, bench on mon+tue and thu+fri -> wouldn't work for me at all. Trying to do bench press 2 days in a row would hurt like hell and I would be able to do about at 50 % power on the second day. But if it works for you (at least you're growing allright ) then go for it.

Thanks Tuc, I like it to

Yeah the 5x5 pullups are easy, still feels good though. I'm taking it slow but I will add weight to them next 5x5 session.

Saturday aswell

It's the only chest exercise so instead of doing 1 chest day and pick 5 exercises this routine has one 5 days a week.

I skipped yesterdays workout and today I did something completely different again. The weather was really nice today so I decided to workout outside.

 

I went to get a piece to fix my car at the car scrap yard and also wanted some wheels with tires on to put on a bar for lifting outside. I got some forklift ones for free, they are 45kg each. They first said those are much to heavy and I said they are fine and they where sort of joking about it... until I lifted one in the car easily and the other guy struggled lifting the other one. Pretty funny actually.

So I got some cool wheels, I need to adapt them a little so I can put them on a bar.

 

Anyway today was lots of fun and pretty tuff actually.

 

 

-Tire flips(45kg): x12 x12 x12

 

-One arm DB clean&press: 26kg x6 x6 x6 (each side)

 

-Supine rows: +10kg plate on chest x14 x14 x14

 

-Dips: +30kg x8 x8 x10

 

-DB goblet squats: 26kg x8 x10 x10

SS w/

-DB swings: 26kg x8 x10 x10

 

-DB lunges: 26kg x10 x8 x6 (each side)

 

-DB rows 26kg x20 (each side)
