joninvegaz Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 so its time to change up the routine for me. i've been doing 5x5 for about six weeks and am ready for a change. i was wondering if anyone had tried one similar to this one, or if anyone has input to whether this is a decent workout plan or not. thanks and peace it's a six day a week program (the workouts are repeated), and three sets are done with each exercise Workout #1Bench Press - 10 Reps Incline Bench Press - 10 Reps Flat Flys - 12 Reps Military Press - 10 Reps Lateral Raises - 12 Reps Close Grip Bench Press - 10 Reps Pressdowns - 10 Reps Workout #2Wide Grip Chins - Failure Reps Deadlifts - 8 Reps Barbell Rows - 10 Reps Preacher Curls - 10 Reps Close Underhand Grip Chins - Failure Reps Barbell Shrugs - 15 Reps Wrist Curls - 15 Reps Workout #3Squats - 10 Reps Leg Extensions - 10 Reps Leg Curls - 10 Reps Stiff Legged Deadlifts - 10 Reps Standing Calf Raises - 15 Reps Seated Calf Raises - 15 Reps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelk Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 The split looks fine to me.My only concern is training 6 days a week.I would suggest training 4 or 5 days max. and continue the split into the following week.That way you will be training some bodyparts twice a week and others once, without risking overtraining.I used a split similar to that, training 4 days per week, for a while and got some great gains from it.Good luck and post your results!

joninvegaz Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 thanks for the input, one more question, would doing a day on day off schedule work with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelk Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 That would work very well, you will give yourself enough time to recover and hit each workout hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
